Statewide rules of thumb

A security deposit generally may not exceed one month’s rent and must be held in a trust account (Haw. Rev. Stat. § 521-44). Unused deposit plus an itemized list is generally due within 14 days after the tenancy ends.

A landlord generally gives 45 days’ written notice to end a month-to-month tenancy; a tenant generally gives 28 days (Haw. Rev. Stat. § 521-71).

Except in an emergency, the landlord must give at least two days’ notice before entering (Haw. Rev. Stat. § 521-53).

A Hawaii rent increase should be in writing. Many landlords use at least the same notice they would use to end a month-to-month tenancy. A landlord generally gives 45 days’ written notice to end a month-to-month tenancy; a tenant generally gives 28 days (Haw. Rev. Stat. § 521-71). The lease may require more. Local rent-control rules can cap the amount even when the notice period is met.
