What a valid Hawaii lease non-renewal / termination notice includes

  • • Full names of all tenants and the rental property address
  • • The landlord’s name and mailing address
  • • The exact termination date by which the tenant must vacate
  • • Service at least 45 days before the effective date (Haw. Rev. Stat. § 521-71(a))
  • • A certificate of service recording how and when the notice was delivered — courts routinely ask for this

NoticeKit generates all of the above, computes your actual notice period, and warns you — citing Haw. Rev. Stat. § 521-71(a) — if your dates fall short of the Hawaii minimum.
