Just cause eviction rules in East Honolulu, HI — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
East Honolulu has no just-cause eviction requirement. Month-to-month tenancies can be terminated with 45 days' notice under state landlord-tenant law, with longer notice for special conversions.
Honolulu has not adopted a just-cause eviction ordinance. Statewide, HRS Sec. 521-71 governs notice-based termination of month-to-month tenancies: landlords must give 45 days' written notice, while tenants give 28 days. A landlord intending to demolish, condo-convert, or convert to a transient vacation rental must give 120 days' notice. Holdover tenants can be charged up to twice the monthly rent and face summary possession in district court. Fixed-term leases run to expiration unless breached. For East Honolulu rentals, these state rules fully govern and are not supplemented by local just-cause provisions.
Improper notice or self-help eviction can result in damages, restoration orders, and attorney's fees under HRS 521.
