Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
No
Yes, under Timeshare Act
While Hawaii has specific provisions for timeshares, these are exceptions to the general rule against commingling, not the baseline regulation. The question asks about the general legality, not specialized exceptions.
Sometimes with buyer permission
Buyer permission does not override state regulations regarding commingling. Even with consent, mixing funds violates the fundamental trust accounting principles required by Hawaii law.
