HRS §521-33
Landlords cannot make tenants give up injury claims
This section makes void any lease clause that lets a landlord escape responsibility for harm to people or property caused by the landlord, their workers, or agents. Such a clause cannot be enforced, so tenants keep their right to seek damages.
