(a) If the default is cured as required by the notice of default and intention to foreclose, the association shall rescind the notice of default and intention to foreclose. If, pursuant to section 667-92(c), the parties agree on a payment plan to cure the default, the notice of default and intention to foreclose shall be put on hold until the payment plan is completed. Within fourteen days of the date of the cure or an agreement on a payment plan, the association shall so notify any person who was served with the notice of default and intention to foreclose. If the default is cured, or the payment plan is completed according to its terms, and the notice of default and intention to foreclose was recorded, a release of the notice of default and intention to foreclose shall be recorded.

Terms Used In Hawaii Revised Statutes 667-94

  • Foreclosure: A legal process in which property that is collateral or security for a loan may be sold to help repay the loan when the loan is in default. Source: OCC
  • Lien: A claim against real or personal property in satisfaction of a debt.
(b) If the default is not cured as required by the notice of default and intention to foreclose, the parties have not agreed on a payment plan, or the parties have agreed on a payment plan but a default occurs under the payment plan, the association, without filing a court action and without going to court, may foreclose the association’s lien under power of sale to sell the unit at a public sale.
(c) If the parties have agreed on a payment plan to prevent a foreclosure from proceeding, any unpaid fines the association imposes on the unit owner while the payment plan is in effect shall not be deemed a default under the payment plan. As long as the unit owner is not otherwise in default under the payment plan, the:

(1) Association shall notify the unit owner in writing of the right to mediation;
(2) Fines and any attorneys’ fees incurred with respect to such fines shall not be deducted from the unit owner’s payments pursuant to the payment plan; and
(3) Parties shall attempt to resolve a dispute over fines and attorneys’ fees, if any, through mediation, within thirty days of the association’s written notice.

If the unit owner refuses to participate in mediation or defaults under the payment plan, or the parties are unable to resolve the dispute through mediation, the association may then commence foreclosure proceedings.
