Entity Record

Confirmed

• Sunset Terrace Apartments — 3626 Lower Honoapiilani Rd, Lahaina, HI 96761 Verified

Additional Properties — Research Needed

TODO Cross-reference Hawaii BREG filings under "AMC LLC" and Maui County tax records to identify additional properties operated under the same management. Also cross-reference with any DBA names discovered in §1.

Note: where additional properties are identified under common management, they may share operational patterns and complaint history. This is relevant for prospective renters performing due diligence.

Research Framework

The following questions should be answered using public BREG and DCCA records:

• Who are the listed managers and members in the most recent BREG filing?
• Are those individuals also listed on other Hawaii LLC filings? (Cross-reference name search on BREG.)
• Are they licensed by the Hawaii Real Estate Commission as property managers or brokers? Check the Hawaii DCCA PVL search.
• Have any individual principals been named in regulatory or court actions?

TODO Populate this section with verified findings only. Each named individual must be sourced to a specific public record (filing date, document type, source URL).

Hawaii eCourt Kokua — Court Records Research

Hawaii's public court records are accessible through eCourt Kokua / Ho'ohiki — the State of Hawaii Judiciary's free public-access portals. These records are useful for identifying any litigation history involving AMC LLC as a party, including evictions, money-damage claims, and civil disputes.

Where to Search

• Maui (2nd Circuit) Circuit Court — civil cases over $40,000, jury trials
• Maui District Court (Wailuku) — small claims (RG-CC-3), summary possession (evictions), money damages up to $40,000
• Statewide search — captures cases filed in any Hawaii jurisdiction

Search Strategy

• Search party name "AMC LLC" as both Plaintiff (cases AMC filed — typically evictions) and Defendant (cases filed against AMC — typically tenant claims)
• Try variants: "AMC, LLC", "Apartment Management Consultants", and any DBA names listed in the BREG record
• Filter by case type: Summary Possession (eviction filings), Small Claims (deposit disputes), Civil (broader money/contract disputes)
• Note the date range — patterns of filings clustered around specific time windows can indicate corporate policy changes

What to Document Per Case

• Case number (e.g., 2DRC-XX-XXXXXXX)
• Filing date and current status
• Case type (Summary Possession / Small Claims / Civil)
• Plaintiff and Defendant names
• Disposition (judgment, dismissal, settlement, pending)
• Any judgment amount

Why This Matters

A high volume of summary-possession (eviction) filings against tenants — especially clustered patterns — can indicate aggressive eviction practices. A low-or-zero number of cases against AMC by tenants is also informative: it can mean either (a) tenants are not pursuing claims, or (b) AMC settles before suit. Both shape the picture for a prospective renter or a journalist.

Hawaii eCourt Kokua — Verified Case Records (Sunset Terrace as Defendant / Respondent)

A search of Hawaii eCourt Kokua / Ho'ohiki for "Sunset Terrace" as a party (and variants: Sunset Terrace Apts, Sunset Terrace Apartments, Sunset Terrace Apt) returned 12 case-name matches in which "Sunset Terrace" appears as Defendant or Respondent (11 directly involving the apartment complex; 1 likely-unrelated 2011 HOA matter included only for search-completeness). All cases are matters of public record. Case numbers below are verifiable directly in Hawaii eCourt Kokua / Ho'ohiki.

Verified Data current as of April 23, 2026. Source: Hawaii State Judiciary public records portal.

Privacy note: Individual party names (plaintiffs, petitioners, respondents) have been redacted from the case captions below to protect personal privacy. Case numbers, types, and filing dates are preserved — the full case record is publicly verifiable on Hawaii eCourt Kokua / Ho'ohiki by searching the case number directly.

Observations

• 11 of the 12 cases directly name the apartment complex (the 12th, 1CC111002627, is likely a separate condominium HOA entity included only for search-completeness — see table note below). No cases were returned in which "Sunset Terrace" is named as Plaintiff. The reason is now identified: the property files cases against tenants under the corporate entity name "Maui Beachfront Residential, LLC" — see the dedicated section below documenting 11+ verified Plaintiff cases under that name (2024–2026 cluster).
• 8 of 12 are Small Claims cases (case prefix 2SC = Maui Small Claims Court). Hawaii Small Claims jurisdiction includes security deposit disputes (no dollar cap under HRS §521-44) and money damage claims up to $5,000 (HRS Chapter 633). The pattern is consistent with tenant-initiated deposit, habitability, or money-damage claims.
• 2 Temporary Restraining Order cases (case prefix 2DSS / 2SS). TRO petitions are matters of public record; their merits and outcomes are determined by the court on a case-by-case basis. Respondent names appear as recorded in the court filings.
• The 2025 Circuit Court Civil case (2CCV-25-0003760) — [Plaintiffs] et al. v. Sunset Terrace Apts — is the most recent and the only non-foreclosure Circuit Court matter directly against the apartment complex. The "et al." suggests multiple plaintiffs. Circuit Court (vs. Small Claims) jurisdiction implies a claim above $40,000 or seeking equitable relief.
• Same plaintiff, two same-day filings ([Plaintiff], 2017-10-03) — case numbers 2SC171000357 and 2SC171000358 were filed by the same person on the same day. This is unusual and may indicate two separate claims (e.g., deposit + damages) against the same defendant.
• The 2011 Deutsche Bank case (1CC111002627) appears in the 1st Circuit (Honolulu) and references "Sunset Terrace Homeowners Association" — this is likely a separate condominium HOA entity (not the apartment complex), included in this search only by name match. It is included for completeness and flagged as likely-unrelated.
• 15-year span: Cases run from 2010 to 2025 — a sustained pattern across multiple years. The cluster around 2010-2017 (8 cases in 8 years) is notable.

Caveats

• Filing ≠ liability. A case being filed does not mean the defendant did anything wrong; some are dismissed, some are decided for the defendant. Disposition (judgment / dismissal / settlement) requires viewing each individual case record on Hawaii eCourt Kokua.
• Search-name-dependent. This list includes cases that name "Sunset Terrace" or close variants as a party. Cases filed against AMC LLC directly, or under a different DBA, may not be captured. A full search should also query "AMC LLC", "Apartment Management Consultants", and any other DBA names listed in the Hawaii BREG record.
• The Homeowners Association case (1CC111002627) is included for completeness but appears to involve a separate condominium-HOA entity, not the apartment complex.

Submission Standards

Tenants, journalists, and researchers are invited to submit verified public-record findings via the site's tip submission form. To be incorporated into this page, submissions must include:

• The specific source database or filing referenced
• A direct URL or document identifier
• The date the record was retrieved or verified

Speculation, second-hand summaries, and rumors will not be added. This page exists to consolidate verifiable public records — nothing else.

Prospective renters and journalists deserve consolidated access to publicly available corporate information about the landlords they may rent from or report on. Hawaii's BREG, eCourt Kokua, and Maui County records are all public — but they are scattered across multiple search interfaces and require knowing what to look for.

This page is research, not commentary. Where commentary appears elsewhere on this parody site, it is clearly framed as such. Where Hawaii statutes are cited, they are accurately cited. Where corporate facts appear on this page, they are sourced — or labeled as not yet sourced.

If you are AMC LLC and any factual statement on this page (not opinion, not parody — fact) is inaccurate or out of date, the contact page includes a correction channel. Documented corrections will be reflected promptly.
