Unconditional Quit Notice (Hawaii)
UNCONDITIONAL QUIT NOTICE
Date of Notice: ________________
From (Landlord/Agent): [LANDLORD/AGENT NAME], [LANDLORD ADDRESS]
To: [TENANT NAME(S)], Tenant(s) in possession of: [PROPERTY ADDRESS]
YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that, because of the following: [state the specific serious or repeated violation / illegal activity, with dates and facts], your tenancy is terminated. You are required to vacate and surrender possession of the property as required by law. This notice does not give an opportunity to cure.
IMPORTANT: An unconditional (no-cure) notice is valid only for the serious or non-curable grounds your state specifically allows. Confirm this situation qualifies — otherwise a notice that gives a chance to cure may be required.
Because Hawaii does not require a fixed pre-filing notice period for this situation, the landlord may file for eviction. You can stop the case by paying or correcting the problem, plus any court costs, before the court enters judgment.
Only a court can order you to move out. The landlord may NOT lock you out, remove your belongings, or shut off your utilities; doing so is illegal.
This notice is given without waiving, and the landlord expressly reserves, all other rights and remedies, including the right to recover unpaid rent and damages.
How this notice may be served: Notices are written and delivered to the tenant; if the tenant cannot be served, the notice may be posted in a conspicuous place on the dwelling unit (HRS 521-68, 521-69). Under the reformed nonpayment statute (effective Feb 5, 2026), a posted notice is deemed received on the date of posting, and a notice mailed by USPS (properly addressed, postage paid) is deemed received two business days after the postmark unless returned undeliverable.
