HRS §490:2A-213

Implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose

In most leases, if the lessor knows you need the goods for a specific purpose and that you rely on their skill to pick them, the law implies a promise that the goods will work for that purpose. This does not apply to finance leases.

The statute, as written — Implied warranty of fitness for particular purpose

Except in a finance lease, if the lessor at the time the lease contract is made has reason to know of any particular purpose for which the goods are required and that the lessee is relying on the lessor's skill or judgment to select or furnish suitable goods, there is in the lease contract an implied warranty that the goods will be fit for that purpose.
