Just cause eviction rules in Kaneohe, 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. Kaneohe landlords may end month-to-month tenancies with 45 days' written notice; 120 days are required for demolition, condo conversion, or conversion to transient vacation use.
HRS Sec. 521-71 governs termination in Kaneohe. A landlord may end a month-to-month residential tenancy without cause with 45 days' advance written notice. The notice extends to 120 days when the termination is for demolishing the unit, converting it to a condominium, or converting it to a transient vacation rental. Tenants ending month-to-month tenancies must give 28 days' notice. If a tenant holds over, the landlord may recover up to twice the monthly rent prorated daily, in addition to summary possession. Honolulu has not enacted additional just-cause requirements, and Kaneohe-specific rules do not exist.
Defective or untimely notice can cause dismissal of summary possession and potential damages to the tenant for wrongful eviction attempts.
