Further, would these acts meet the requirements for Restatement (Second) of Torts § 822, § 827, and § 829?

I received a demand letter from the Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP) in Hawaii, citing a $10,000 civil penalty for allegedly renting a property for less than 30 consecutive days without clear proof of a violation. The DPP threatens to place a lien on my personal property and prevent me from renewing my car tags or driver's license if I don't pay. I have been cleared by two different inspectors previously, and the DPP's evidence is weak, consisting only of an online calendar and ignored ad wording. What steps can I take to challenge this penalty and protect my rights?

I have ongoing water damage in my rental unit since moving in on 5/01. Servpro, a company that handles water damage and mold issues, has advised that I may need to vacate the premise for a minimum of 3-5 days. I have renters insurance but need guidance on how to follow up with the management company to best protect myself and potentially get maximum compensation.
