free help for landlords & tenants
Rental troubles? Be Proactive!
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected us all.
- Tenants, are you worried about paying your rent?
- Landlords, are you concerned about covering your costs?
- Need help to communicate your needs?
We can help you talk it out.
Conversations about money are difficult to have. You don't need to figure this out alone. Our neutral third party mediators are ready to assist both landlords and tenants--to talk and listen, explore options, and find your own best solutions.
There are eviction moratoriums in place, at least for now. A moratorium on evictions does NOT stop rent, mortgage, or utilities from being owed.
Take action now to avoid problems later.
Let our mediators help you have productive conversations to prevent misunderstandings, explore available options, and avert legal action.
FREE for commercial and residential landlords and tenants in Hawai'i County.
