Can you rent to visitors?
HousesNightly only in resort zonesOn Oahu, renting a house or condo for less than 30 days is illegal outside the resort districts (Waikiki’s resort precinct, Ko Olina and Turtle Bay) unless the property holds a nonconforming use certificate. The city’s 2022 ordinance (Ordinance 22-7) raised the residential minimum to 90 days. A federal court blocked that change for rentals of 30 to 89 days that were already lawfully operating, but anyone starting a rental now should plan on 90 days or more and confirm with the Department of Planning and Permitting.
