Under Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 515, it is unlawful for an owner, realtor, resident manager, property manager, or any other person engaged in the sale of rental of housing to discriminate because of:
Race
Sex
Ancestry/ National Origin
Religion
Disability
HIV Infection
Familial Status
Age
Marital Status
Sex Orientation
Examples of housing discrimination are when:
You are charged higher rent than tenants of the opposite sex.
You are not given pool privileges because you are perceived as being HIV-Positive
A landlord refuses to rent to you because you have children
A realtor tells you that property is not available for inspection, sale, rental, or lease, but later shows the same property to people of a different ethnic group.
A salesperson discourages you from buying or renting a home in a certain neighborhood because you are a different race than most of the present residents
You have difficulty obtaining financing, because of your ancestry/ national origin, although you have sufficient income and a satisfactory credit rating.
