Just cause eviction rules in Waipahu, HI — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Waipahu has no just-cause eviction law. Month-to-month tenancies can be terminated on 45 days' notice under state law, with longer notice for conversions.
Honolulu has not adopted a just-cause eviction ordinance. Statewide, HRS Sec. 521-71 governs notice-based termination. Landlords must give 45 days' written notice to end a month-to-month tenancy; tenants give 28 days. Landlords planning to demolish, convert to a condominium, or convert to a transient vacation rental must give 120 days' notice, which matters for Waipahu's older walk-up and plantation-camp rentals when redevelopment is proposed. Holdover tenants can be charged up to twice monthly rent and pursued through summary possession in district court.
Defective notice or self-help eviction can expose landlords to damages, restoration, and attorney's fees.
