Hawaii HOA & Community Rules Addendum

This HOA & Community Rules Addendum is built with Hawaii as the governing state. These are the Hawaii landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.

Hawaii rules at a glance

Landlord entry & access

A Hawaii tenant can’t unreasonably refuse entry for inspections, repairs, agreed services or showings to buyers, lenders and prospective tenants. Except in an emergency or where it’s impracticable, the landlord must give at least two days’ notice and enter only during reasonable hours, and may not abuse access to harass the tenant (§521-53(b)). Otherwise the landlord has no right of entry without a court order, unless the tenant appears to have abandoned the unit (§521-53(c)).

Ending a Hawaii tenancy

Hawaii’s month-to-month notice is asymmetric: the landlord must give 45 days’ written notice, while the tenant needs to give only 28. A tenant who receives the landlord’s 45-day notice may move out earlier in that window on notice, paying rent prorated to the move-out date (§521-71).

Notice to end a Hawaii tenancy (HRS §521-71)
Month-to-month — landlord45 days
Month-to-month — tenant28 days
Shorter than month-to-month (either party)10 days
Demolition, condo or transient-rental conversion120 days
  • Nonpayment — Since February 5, 2026 (Act 278 of 2025), the landlord’s written demand must give at least 10 calendar days to pay (previously 5 business days); this change is permanent. Through February 4, 2028, the notice must also be sent to a state-funded mediation center, and if mediation is scheduled within the 10 days the landlord must participate and can’t file for possession until 20 calendar days after the tenant received the notice, unless the tenant skips or cancels mediation (§521-68).
  • Tenant obligation breaches — For a material breach of the tenant’s statutory obligations (§521-51), the landlord must give written notice and at least 10 days to remedy it; eviction on this ground is limited to violations of health-and-safety building and housing laws, while other breaches the landlord can fix and bill as rent. No cure period is needed where the breach causes or threatens irremediable damage to people or property (§521-69).
  • Holdover — A tenant who stays past a proper termination without consent can owe up to twice the monthly rent, prorated daily. The landlord must start eviction within 60 days or a new month-to-month tenancy arises at the old rent (§521-71(e)).
  • No pretext notices — A termination notice served to evade the rent-increase notice rules is void (§521-71(f)).
