Mickels8; You're incorrect in your interpretation of the City and County Land-use Ordinances. The law is very clear that you cannot “provide” less than 30-day stays in residential zoning, unless you have a non-conforming use certificate. If you rent your property to transients for 9 days, and then don’t rent it to anyone else, you’re still breaking the law…. And even if you have a 30 day lease, if officials learn that the transients were not informed and given full rights and possession of the property for the agreed-upon 30 day period, you are in violation of the Honolulu Land-use ordinances for an illegal vacation rental and the Hawaii Revised Statutes for creating a subterfuge and fraudulent lease agreement.
