East Honolulu short-term rental operators must carry at least $1 million in commercial general liability insurance, with proof submitted to DPP at registration.
ROH Sec. 21-5.730, as amended by Bill 41 (Ord. 22-7), requires STR registrants to provide proof of at least $1,000,000 commercial general liability coverage, or homeowner's insurance that includes business liability coverage. This protects guests, neighbors, and the operator from claims arising out of the rental operation. In East Honolulu's high-value coastal properties, operators should verify that personal homeowner policies explicitly cover transient rental activity, as many standard policies exclude it. Failure to maintain coverage can void a registration.
Allowing insurance to lapse, providing a policy that excludes STR activity, or forging proof of coverage.
