Arrival 50 in typical condominium buildings while others are a part of a house in a residential neighborhood (like an Accessory Dwelling Unit ADU or ohana housing). Also, building practices in Hawaii have differed through the years and, with the harsh saltwater air, many homes are not finished as nicely as some other places in the world. Pets are often a challenge. In Hawaii, rental options often say, “no cat or dogs,” but it is still possible to find a place with an additional pet deposit and effort. Decide on a rental fast – but read the lease carefully. When you find a rental that will fit your situation – hitting all your “musts” – then be ready to quickly fill out an application, sign the lease, and put down a deposit (typically one month’s rent). In Hawaii, lease options include month-tomonth or long-term leases (more than six months). For month-to-month leases, a tenant needs to notify their landlord when they will leave 28 months ahead of time. For this reason, most rentals can be found in Hawaii only one month in advance. Leases also include information about repairs, return of the safety deposit, and more. Another tip is to take a video when you move into the rental property, so you can return it to its original condition upon moving out. If you decide to rent off-base, you will likely pay out-of-pocket for utilities – usually between $300-500 monthly. The most common utilities already included in your rent are garbage and sewer. You may have to pay out-of-pocket for plumbing, electrical, and other maintenance. Unless the property is part of a designated community or association, you may be required to care for your lawn. Only a small percentage of Hawaii rentals allow pets. There may not be an onsite property management or maintenance staff.
