Hawaii Eviction Notice

Before a landlord can file an eviction case in Hawaii, the tenant must receive a written notice that states what is wrong and how long they have to fix it or move out. In Hawaii, a landlord must generally give 5 business days' notice to pay rent or quit under Haw. Rev. Stat. 521-68.

This template generates a Hawaii eviction notice for nonpayment of rent, a lease violation, or the end of the tenancy. You set the notice period so the document matches the current Hawaii requirement for your situation.
