Eviction Notices in Hawaii
Hawaii's eviction process is governed by the Hawaii Residential Landlord-Tenant Code. For nonpayment of rent, landlords must serve a 5-day notice before filing a summary possession action.
Hawaii requires strict compliance with notice and service requirements. Self-help evictions are illegal, and a landlord must obtain a court judgment before removing a tenant.
