HRS §521-62
Ending a lease in the first week if the landlord breaks the deal
If your landlord breaks the rental agreement or fails a major legal duty, you can end the lease and move out during your first week. You keep that right after the first week only if you stayed because the landlord promised to fix the problem.

The statute, as written — Tenant's remedy of termination at beginning of term
If the landlord fails to conform to the rental agreement, or is in material noncompliance with section 521-42(a), the tenant may, on notice to the landlord, terminate the rental agreement and vacate the dwelling unit at any time during the first week of occupancy. The tenant shall retain such right to terminate beyond the first week of occupancy so long as the tenant remains in possession in reliance on a promise, whether written or oral, by the landlord to correct all or any part of the condition which would justify termination by the tenant under this section.
