Hawaii requires written notice before eviction. For nonpayment of rent, HRS § 521-68 requires a written demand giving the tenant not less than five business days to pay before the rental agreement may be terminated. For other tenant breaches, HRS § 521-72 generally requires at least ten days to cure before termination.
Under HRS § 521-68, after rent is due the landlord may notify the tenant in writing that 'unless payment is made within a time mentioned in the notice, not less than five business days after receipt thereof, the rental agreement will be terminated.' If the tenant stays in default, the landlord may bring summary possession. For non-rent breaches, HRS § 521-72 requires written notice warning that if the violation continues or recurs 'after (a date not less than ten days after this notice), the landlord may terminate the rental agreement.' No cure period applies where the breach threatens damage to a person or violates HRS § 521-51(1) or (6). Only a court may order eviction; self-help lockouts are barred.
No specific penalty for serving notice, but eviction requires a court summary-possession judgment. A landlord who uses self-help (lockout, utility shutoff) instead of the § 521-68/§ 521-72 process faces tenant remedies under HRS § 521-63 and § 521-74.5.
