Lease Agreements in Hawaii
Hawaii landlord-tenant law is governed by Haw. Rev. Stat. § 521 (Residential Landlord-Tenant Code). Hawaii caps security deposits at one month's rent and requires them returned within 14 days of move-out.
Hawaii has no statewide rent control. The eviction process requires a 5-day notice for non-payment. Honolulu and other counties do not have local rent control. Landlords must give 2 days' notice before entering.
