Month-to-Month If the rental period is one month, the law requires that a landlord notify the tenant in writing at least 45 days before the date the landlord wants the tenant to move out. A tenant who wants to end the rental must give written notice to the landlord 28 days before moving.

In Hawaii, a landlord cannot sell, give away, or throw out a tenant's abandoned property without providing a tenant a notice and then wait for fifteen days. (See: Hawaii Revised Statutes § 521-56.) Hawaii forbids landlords from taking the law into their own hands.

The Hawaii standard residential lease agreement is structured around a one (1) year lease with reoccurring monthly payments. The form will provide information regarding the cost of rent, security deposits, and the rights and responsibilities of both parties.

Permitted Times: Hawaii landlords may only enter at reasonable times. Landlords may enter for inspections, repairs, decorations, alterations, improvements, services, or showings (HRS § 521-53(a)). Emergency Entry: In case of an emergency, the landlord may enter without providing advanced notice (HRS § 521-53(b)).

Tenants have the right to seek a rental unit in a habitable condition. If the property ever needs some repairs, the Hawaii tenant can request repairs from their landlord. If the landlord doesn't respond within the required notice, the tenant may exercise their repair and deduct right.
