Island Conversations #82 -- Landlord Tenant Mediation

Published: June 7, 2020, 4 p.m.

Kehau Costa of Hawaii Island Realtors, Julie Mitchell of Ku'ikahi Mediation Center in Hilo, and Eric Paul of West Hawaii Mediation Center in Waimea talk about the concern about people who may not be able to pay their rent, with at least 22% of Hawaii's population now unemployed.  Although right now there is a state moratorium on evictions, that will end at some point.  Kehau, Julie, and Eric talk about a mediation program that helps landlords and tenants come together to talk about possible solutions that will work for both parties.  (Note, we did put this online as a podcast only a month ago, but heard from folks who don't listen to podcasts and are concerned, so on June 7 it's airing on the radio, as well.) Air date:  June 7, 2020 Kehau Costa, Executive Director, Hawaii Island Realtors Julie Mitchell, Ku'ikahi Mediation Center Eric Paul, West Hawaii Mediation Center
