Compliance Snapshot (Hawaii)
State Requirements
Hawaii Seller’s Real Property Disclosure Statement
Hawaii law (HRS §508D) requires sellers to provide a written disclosure statement to buyers within 10 days after the seller accepts a purchase contract offer (or 10 days before closing if under power of sale). This Hawaii disclosure law mandates that the seller disclose *all material facts* about the property that could affect the value or desirability and that are not readily observable. The disclosure covers issues with structural components, plumbing, electrical, termite/pest treatments, any encroachments or easements, etc. The buyer has 15 days after receiving the disclosure statement to rescind the contract if they find the disclosure unsatisfactory.
MLS Notices
MLS Requirements
Hawaii has a few regional MLS systems (e.g., Honolulu MLS/HiCentral on Oahu, RAM MLS on Maui). A listing agreement is required to list on these MLSs. MLS rules require that new listings be input promptly and that any public advertising triggers the obligation to list the property on the MLS (Clear Cooperation). MLS rules in Hawaii also generally require an exterior photo on residential listings, and enforce accuracy (e.g., misrepresenting square footage or view quality can lead to MLS sanctions). All advertising remarks must comply with fair housing standards.
Federal Baseline
Lead-Based Paint Hazard Disclosure
Federal law (Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992) requires sellers of homes built before 1978 to disclose any known lead-based paint or lead hazards and provide buyers with the EPA’s lead hazard information pamphlet. Buyers must also be given a 10-day opportunity to conduct a lead paint inspection or waive that right.
Fair Housing Act (No Discriminatory Advertising)
Under the federal Fair Housing Act, sellers (and their agents) must not publish any advertisement for the listing that expresses a discriminatory preference based on protected classes (e.g. race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin). For example, statements such as 'no children' or other exclusions in home listings are unlawful.
