HRS §368F-2
Landlords cannot discriminate based on housing assistance
This law makes it illegal for landlords to treat renters differently because they get housing assistance. Landlords cannot advertise against it, discourage applicants, refuse to rent, or impose different rules. This protects renters who use housing vouchers or similar programs.
