A Hawaii month-to-month lease agreement is a flexible rental arrangement with no fixed end date, allowing either the landlord or tenant to terminate the lease at any time with proper notice. Often used for short-term housing, this type of agreement is ideal for those who prefer not to commit to a long-term lease.

Required Landlord Disclosures (4)
When entering into a new lease agreement, landlords must provide the new tenant with certain disclosures dictated by Hawaii landlord-tenant law, including:
- Lead-based Paint: For all units constructed before 1978, landlords must inform tenants of the presence or knowledge of lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards according to federal law.
- Move-in checklist: Landlords in Hawaii must provide tenants with a detailed list of the property condition upon move-in (HRS § 521-42(a)).
- Landlord contact info: Hawaii landlords must list the name and address of the person authorized to manage the property (HRS § 521-43(a)).
- On Island Agent: If Landlord does not live on the island where the Premises is located, Landlord must appoint an on-island agent for such property. The name and address of each person authorized to manage the premises must be given to the tenant, in writing, and must be kept current (H.R.S. 521-43(F)).
- Excise tax: If applicable, landlords must give tenants the landlord’s excise tax number for the tenant to become eligible to claim the low-income tax credit (HRS § 521-43(h)).
Required Notice to Terminate Month-to-Month Agreement
Since there is no specific end date for a month-to-month lease agreement, each state establishes its own required notice period to end a rental contract.
In Hawaii, the notice period is:
Required notice for the landlord: Landlords must give Hawaii tenants 45 days of notice.
Required notice for the tenant: Tenants must give at least 28 days’ notice (HRS § 521-71).
Rent Increase Laws
While Hawaii has no rent control or stabilization laws, rules exist around how landlords can raise rent.
For fixed-term leases, landlords cannot increase rent until the end of the rental period unless a provision within the lease specifically allows for it. For month-to-month leases, landlords must give at least 45 days of written notice before increasing rent.
