Know your Hawaiʻi tenant rights.
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
Landlords generally need your consent and at least two days’ notice to enter at reasonable times. The notice requirement has exceptions for emergencies and when giving notice is impracticable.
§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.
Three more rights renters ask about
§521-21
Rent increases need written notice

Ending a month-to-month tenancy
A landlord must give at least 45 days’ written notice to end a month-to-month tenancy; a tenant gives at least 28.
§521-74
Retaliation is prohibited
A landlord may not evict you or raise rent because you complained to an agency or requested repairs you were entitled to.

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.
