- Stops illegal vacation rentals and unscrupulous Realtors from creating “Fake” 30-day leases by redefining short-term rentals 180 days or less.
- Allows long-term tenants to continue to rent month to month.
- Raises fines from $10,000 to $25,000 per violation and per day that violation continues.
- Only allows “new” short-term rentals in or near resort zone areas like Waikiki, Ko Olina and Turtle Bay.
- All existing short-term rentals with a Non-conforming Use certificate since 1987 can continue to operate and apply for new permits.
- Creates a special fund to specifically improve the City’s enforcement efforts against illegal vacation rentals.
- All legal vacation rentals advertisement must include a registration number and their TMK number. Illegal vacation rentals will be removed from all advertisements or face significant fines.
- BOTTOM LINE: Illegal vacation rentals will either shut down or face significant fines. Oahu housing supply for residents will increase and our residential neighbors and communities will stay residential in their character!
