Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions.
1. In your experience, how prevalent is the issue of squatting and adverse possession?
very prevalent in my subdivision: Leilani Estates
2. In what communities and districts do squatting and adverse possession appear most
prominent?
I am only familiar with Leilani.
3. When you receive notice or a complaint about these situations, what is your normal
course of action?
research the owner, contact the owner and let them handle the situation.
4. What kinds of complications have arisen in the past that have prevented a successful
resolution of the situation?
The owner not being present. The police not being able to do anything about the
situation.
5. For those situations that have been successfully resolved, please describe what happened.
Stolen property was found in the home and the squatter was arrested.
6. What happens when you contact or try to contact the owner of record?
Sometimes there is no follow thru, especially when the owner is absentee (off-island)
7. What solutions would you recommend?
giving more teeth into an anti-squatting law. giving the police more authority to do
something about illegal squatters.
8. Are there any other comments you would like to make?
We would like to know what homes have been foreclosed upon, and are bank-
owned. or other situations where the home is not occupied. seems like that would
be something that the individual subdivisions would have to handle.
