‘Outrageous’: Hawaii man files suit over alleged wrongful eviction during pandemicHONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - A Honolulu man is alleging that he and his 2-year-old daughter were wrongfully evicted from their North Shore apartment in November 2020.“Just completely outrageous — especially given the pandemic and the lockdown that was in place — and pretty much heartless you know, a couple of days before Thanksgiving,” said Stewart.They don’t have a residence, they had to get everything out within a couple of hours.”The owner — who lives on the mainland — declined comment, referring all questions to an attorney who could not be reached.David Ige allowed short term rentals to resume operations in November 2020, the apartment could fetch a much higher price.And there’s nothing in the landlord tenant code that gives an exception for vacation rentals,” said Dan O’Meara, managing attorney for the Legal Aid Society of Hawaii’s Housing and Consumer unit."
