Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2012

 

RE:   H.B. No. 2069

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Housing, to which was referred H.B. No. 2069 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HOUSING,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to make changes to the Condominium Property Regimes law under Chapters 514A and 514B, Hawaii Revised Statutes by:

 

(1)  Prohibiting a condominium board of directors, when leasing common elements of the condominium, from setting the rent at an amount below fair market rent value; and

 

(2)  Requiring all direct costs attributable to condominium hotel operations to be charged only to unit owners whose units are included in condominium hotel operations.

 

     An individual supported the measure.  Aston Hotels & Resorts, LLC opposed the measure.  Two individuals commented on the measure.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by specifying that the prohibition regarding setting the rent of common elements within an apartment at an amount below fair market rent value applies only to leases to individuals or entities who are not apartment owners.  Technical, nonsubstantive amendments were also made for clarity and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Housing that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2069, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2069, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Tourism.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Housing,
