Verified against official Hawaii landlord-tenant statutes. Last reviewed May 2026. How we verify our legal data.

A Hawaii lease agreement is governed by the Hawaii Residential Landlord-Tenant Code in Chapter 521. Hawaii caps the security deposit at one month's rent and requires the landlord to return it within 14 days of the tenancy ending.

Late fees are limited to 8 percent of the rent due, and a landlord must give 2 days' notice before entering. To end a month-to-month tenancy, a Hawaii landlord gives 45 days' notice while a tenant gives 28 days. A written agreement records these Hawaii-specific timelines so both sides know where they stand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a written lease agreement in Hawaii?

While oral agreements may be enforceable for short-term leases, Hawaii law strongly favors written lease agreements. A written lease protects both landlord and tenant by clearly documenting terms, responsibilities, and required disclosures under the Hawaii Residential Landlord-Tenant Code, Haw. Rev. Stat. §§ 521-1 to 521-78. Hawaii requires landlords to include specific disclosures such as Lead-based paint disclosure (federal, pre-1978 housing) and Owner or authorized agent name and address, which must be in writing.

What are Hawaii's security deposit rules?

In Hawaii, the security deposit is capped at 1 month rent. Landlords must return the deposit within 14 days after the tenancy ends. Interest on security deposits is not required. Deductions must be itemized in writing.
