Until the new condominium law, there was no formal definition of a resident manager. HRS §514B-3 now states:

“Resident manager” means any person retained as an employee by the association to manage, on-site, the operation of the property.

As you can see, the definition is quite broad and could include anyone that’s employed by the Association that provides onsite management for the operation of the property.

Pursuant to HRS §514B-137(a), the Association is responsible for the operation of the property. What is operation of the property. The condominium property act defines it very broadly in HRS §514B-3 as follows:

“Operation of the property” means the administration, fiscal management, and physical operation of the property, and includes the maintenance, repair, and replacement of, and the making of any additions and improvements to, the common elements.
