Just cause eviction rules in Urban Honolulu, HI — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Urban Honolulu has no just cause eviction ordinance; terminations follow state law HRS Section 521-71 with 45 days' notice for month-to-month and 120 days for conversions.
The City and County of Honolulu has not adopted a just cause eviction ordinance, so Urban Honolulu tenancies end under HRS Section 521-71. A landlord must give 45 days' written notice to terminate a month-to-month tenancy and 120 days' notice before demolition, condominium conversion, or conversion to a transient vacation rental. Tenants must give 28 days' notice to vacate. Holdover tenants can be liable for up to twice the monthly rent. Retaliatory eviction is barred under HRS 521-74, and discriminatory termination violates federal fair housing law. Tenants may request a jury trial in summary possession cases.
Defective notices under HRS 521-71 can void an eviction. Retaliatory or discriminatory termination can trigger damages, attorney fees, and fair housing complaints.
