I mean is there like an agency where people can look up every person's past rent situations
In Hawaii, there isn't a centralized agency specifically for tracking individual rent situations. However, credit bureaus might reflect rental payment history if reported by landlords. If you're worried about inaccuracies, you might want to check your credit report for any rental entries. Do you have concerns about your rental history?
What about low income housing and section * do they share information with DHS on renters automatically
In Hawaii, low-income housing and Section * programs have specific rules regarding information sharing:
- Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) that manage Section * and low-income housing may share certain information with government agencies like DHS for eligibility and verification purposes.
- Tenants are usually required to consent to this information sharing during the application process.

What if I'm not receiving any benefits from DHS can they check my past rent situations
Case Rating: *
If you're not receiving benefits from DHS, they typically wouldn't have access to your past rent situations unless there's a specific investigation or reason. However, if you've applied for assistance in the past, they might have some historical data. Is there a particular concern you have about this?
