Aloha. My disabled, elderly friend owns a house on leased land in Kahalu'u. He has just been informed by the fee owner, Hawaii Housing Finance & Development Corp. (HHFDC), that his lease rent is going up from $500/year to $11,000/year.
That's over 2,000% increase.
Needless to say, living on disability, he can't even afford one month's lease payment at the new rate. Nor does he have any money to buy the fee.
Does anyone know of any community associations that are helping folks in this situation? I suspect that this is going to be happening more and more, as some of these leases come up for renegotiation.
Any leads would be much appreciated. Or links to places this has been discussed elsewhere? Mahalo.
