Mililani Town has no rent control. HRS Chapter 521 governs; landlords must provide at least 45 days' written notice before raising rent on a month-to-month tenant.
No Honolulu ordinance or Hawaii statute caps residential rent increases. Mililani Town tenancies are governed by HRS Chapter 521, the Residential Landlord-Tenant Code. For month-to-month leases, rent increases require 45 days' advance written notice (HRS Sec. 521-21(d)). For fixed-term leases, rent cannot be changed mid-term. Written notices must comply with HRS Sec. 521-68. Mililani-specific rent control proposals have not been adopted, though periodic bills at the City Council and State Legislature discuss caps and anti-gouging rules. HOA covenants do not regulate rent amounts but may restrict leasing terms, minimum lease lengths, or tenant approvals.
Improper rent-increase notices may be unenforceable and can be raised as defenses in summary possession or small claims actions.
