Rent, late fees & rent increases

  • Late-fee cap — Where the lease provides for a late charge, it can’t exceed 8% of the amount of rent due (§521-21(f)). Hawaii sets no mandatory grace period, so the lease sets when the fee applies.
  • Rent increases — Rent on a month-to-month tenancy can’t be raised without written notice given 45 consecutive days before the increase takes effect; for tenancies shorter than month-to-month it’s 15 days (§521-21(d)–(e)). A fixed-term lease can’t be increased mid-term unless the lease allows it.
  • General excise tax — Rental income is subject to Hawaii’s general excise tax, and landlords must provide their GET number to tenants so they can claim the low-income renter’s tax credit (§521-43(h)).
  • Rent control — Hawaii has no statewide or county rent control on private rentals; the 45-day notice rule is the main limit on increases.
