Just cause eviction rules in Kailua, HI — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Honolulu has no just-cause eviction ordinance. Kailua landlords may end a month-to-month tenancy with 45 days' written notice, extended to 120 days when the termination is for demolition, condo conversion, or conversion to a transient vacation rental.
Under HRS Sec. 521-71, landlords in Kailua may terminate a month-to-month residential tenancy without cause by delivering 45 days' advance written notice. The notice period extends to 120 days when the landlord intends to demolish the dwelling, convert it to a condominium, or convert it to a transient vacation rental use. Tenants wishing to end a month-to-month tenancy must give 28 days' notice. If a tenant holds over after proper notice, the landlord may recover up to twice the monthly rent prorated daily and pursue summary possession. No Honolulu ordinance layers additional just-cause requirements on top of these state rules.
Defective notice can result in dismissal of summary possession actions and potential damages to the tenant for wrongful eviction attempts.
