Plain-language starting points from HRS Chapter 521. Sources checked August 2026.
§521-44
Security deposits are capped
One month’s rent, held by the landlord — plus at most one more month as a separate pet deposit. It must come back within 14 days of moving out, with an itemized statement for anything withheld.
§521-53
Your landlord can’t just walk in
Except in a genuine emergency, a landlord needs your consent and at least two days’ notice to enter, and only at reasonable times.
§521-42
The home must be habitable
Landlords are required to keep the property fit to live in — plumbing, electrical, structure, and required repairs. Put repair requests in writing and keep a copy.

Plain-language summaries, not legal advice — the Code and its amendments control, and your lease adds terms of its own. For a real dispute, talk to a Hawaiʻi attorney or the Legal Aid Society of Hawaiʻi.
