Many times you will hear someone ask this question in Hawaii real estate…. How much notice does the landlord need to give to the tenant. It is 2 days. You need to also remember there are several types of leases.
First there is a tenancy for years which is a lease with a beginning and ending date. Normally no notice is required because the terms are spelled out in the lease.
Secondly, there is the tenancy for periods. This is usually a lease for a period of time like a day (hotel), a week (rooming house) or a month, which is most often called a month to month and is the most common form of tenancy for periods. Because the lease renews each period unless it is changed. In other words, we have to decide how many days notice should be required to increase the rent for example, or decide on how many days notice are required to respond to an emergency repair. This is all provided in HRS 521, (click here for link) which is the Tenant Landlord Code.
