Maui HI rent increase 2026 Maui County, Hawaii has no rent control in 2026. No Hawaii county has ever enacted residential rent control — including Maui County — despite Maui having median single-family home prices exceeding $1.3 million and the catastrophic housing disruption of the August 8, 2023 Lahaina wildfire (102 deaths = DEADLIEST US WILDFIRE SINCE 1918; ~2,200 structures destroyed; ~10,000–12,000 displaced). HRS Chapter 521 (Hawaii’s Residential Landlord-Tenant Code): 1-month deposit cap (HRS §521-44(b)); 14-day return deadline (HRS §521-44(c)) = TIED FOR FASTEST MANDATORY DEPOSIT RETURN IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES (alongside Arizona ARS §33-1321(D) and Alaska AS §34.03.070); REQUIRED 5% per annum deposit interest (HRS §521-44(d)); 3× treble damages for wrongful withholding (HRS §521-44(e)); 5-day pay-or-quit with cure right (HRS §521-68(a)); Second Circuit Court, Wailuku.

Maui County rent control status: no rent regulation despite the most expensive market in Hawaii

Maui County presents an extreme version of Hawaii’s paradox: the most expensive housing sub-market in a state that has never enacted rent control anywhere. Maui’s median single-family home price exceeded $1.3 million in 2025 — higher than Honolulu ($1.1M+), higher than Seattle, higher than Denver, higher than San Diego — yet Maui County has never enacted a residential rent control ordinance.

Hawaii does not have a statewide rent-control preemption statute (unlike Texas LGC §214.902, Wisconsin Wis. Stat. §66.1015, Michigan MCL §123.409, Illinois 765 ILCS 720, Tennessee T.C.A. §66-35-102, Missouri RSMo §441.043, and Kansas K.S.A. §12-16,130 — all of which have explicit named statutes blocking local rent control). Hawaii has never needed such a statute because no Hawaii municipality has ever attempted to enact rent control.

The August 2023 Lahaina wildfire generated significant political pressure for tenant protections. The Maui County Council and State Legislature considered various measures. The responses were: (1) Governor Green’s emergency proclamation, which included anti-price-gouging provisions for wildfire-affected areas; (2) Maui County STR Ordinance 4970 (2024), restricting short-term rentals to increase long-term supply — a supply-side intervention, not rent control; (3) State-funded housing assistance programs for displaced Lahaina residents. Standing rent control was not enacted.

Maui landlords outside emergency-declared wildfire areas may raise rent by any amount at lease renewal, subject only to HRS Chapter 521 procedural requirements. For West Maui properties in or adjacent to wildfire-affected areas, consult a Hawaii attorney for current emergency protection status in 2026.

The Lahaina wildfire: August 8, 2023 — DEADLIEST US WILDFIRE SINCE 1918

The Lahaina wildfire of August 8, 2023 is the defining event of Maui’s 2020s housing market. Driven by high winds from the remnants of Hurricane Dora and dry kiawe brush, the fire ignited multiple points in and around Lahaina on August 8, engulfing the historic town within hours.

The death toll reached 102 confirmed deaths — making the Lahaina fire the deadliest US wildfire since the November 1918 Cloquet fire in Minnesota (which killed approximately 450 people but spanned an entire region). Among recent wildfires: the 2018 Camp Fire in Paradise, California killed 85 people (prior modern record); the 2017 Tubbs Fire in Santa Rosa, California killed 22 people; the 2021 Marshall Fire near Boulder, Colorado killed 2 people. Lahaina’s 102 deaths in a single fire event stand as the worst modern US wildfire casualty event.

The structural destruction was enormous: approximately 2,200 structures destroyed in Lahaina, with the historic Front Street commercial district, the Banyan Court, and dozens of residential blocks leveled. Lahaina was a predominantly renter-occupied community — hotel workers, restaurant employees, retail staff, tour operators, and service sector workers who rented modest apartments and ohana units in the town. The destruction displaced approximately 10,000–12,000 residents.

The immediate market effects: anti-price-gouging emergency orders capped rents at 10% above pre-disaster levels in affected areas (a temporary emergency measure, not standing rent control). Non-fire areas of Maui — Kihei, Kahului, Wailuku, Makawao — saw rent surges of 20–45% within 90 days as displaced Lahaina residents competed for every available unit. Several West Maui hotels contracted with FEMA and the State of Hawaii to house displaced residents at subsidized rates, converting resort capacity to disaster housing.

As of 2026, Lahaina’s core remains in debris removal and environmental remediation. The rebuild is projected to take 5–10+ years to restore meaningful residential supply. The 2,200 destroyed units represent a permanent reduction in West Maui’s housing stock that cannot be quickly replaced — Jones Act construction cost premiums (15–25% above mainland), limited building materials supply, and regulatory complexity all impede rapid reconstruction.

Hawaii HRS Chapter 521: Maui deposit and eviction rules

Security deposit: 1-month cap, 14-day return, 5% interest, treble damages — HRS §521-44

Hawaii Revised Statutes §521-44 applies uniformly across all Hawaii counties, including Maui. At Maui’s elevated 2026 rent levels, the deposit compliance stakes are especially high.

One-month deposit cap (HRS §521-44(b)): A Maui landlord may not require a security deposit exceeding one month’s rent. At Kihei’s 2026 average of $2,600–$3,000/month for 2BR, the maximum deposit is $1,500–$1,800 for a 1BR unit. Even in Wailea luxury rentals at $4,000+/month, the deposit cap limits the landlord to one month’s rent.

14-day return deadline — TIED FASTEST IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES (HRS §521-44(c)): After the tenancy terminates and the tenant vacates, return the deposit balance with a written itemized statement within 14 days. Hawaii’s 14-day deadline ties Arizona (ARS §33-1321(D)) and Alaska (AS §34.03.070) as the fastest in the US. It beats California (21 days), Rhode Island (20 days), Washington state (21–30 days), Nevada (30 days), Massachusetts (30 days), Connecticut (30 days), and Oregon (31 days). The 14-day clock starts when the tenant vacates, not from the lease end date if different.

Required 5% per annum deposit interest (HRS §521-44(d)): Maui landlords must pay simple interest at 5% per annum on all security deposits, paid annually to the tenant or credited against rent. At a $2,500 deposit (1BR Kihei), the annual obligation is $125/year. At a $3,500 deposit (2BR Wailea), the obligation is $175/year. Keep a formal interest payment ledger for each tenancy.

Treble (3×) damages (HRS §521-44(e)): Missing the 14-day deadline or wrongfully withholding deposit funds exposes the Maui landlord to three times the withheld amount plus attorney’s fees. At Maui’s rent levels, this can mean thousands of dollars in damages for a single late return. Hawaii’s 3× penalty exceeds California (2×), Oregon (2×), Washington (2×), Nevada (2×), Rhode Island (2×), and Connecticut (2×).

5-day notice and Second Circuit Court

For non-payment of rent, Maui landlords serve a written 5-day demand for payment of rent (HRS §521-68(a)). If the tenant pays within 5 days, accept the payment; the cure right prevents proceeding with eviction for that non-payment event.

After the 5-day period expires without payment or surrender, file a Complaint for Summary Possession in the District Court of the Second Circuit at 2145 Main Street, Wailuku, HI 96793. The Court schedules a hearing; if the landlord prevails, the Court issues a Writ of Possession. The Maui Police Department enforces the writ. Total timeline from 5-day notice to writ execution is typically 5–9 weeks for uncontested non-payment cases.

No self-help eviction (HRS §521-63): Never change locks, remove belongings, or shut off utilities to force a tenant out. Violations entitle the tenant to actual damages plus attorney’s fees.

Major employers and rental demand drivers in Maui County

Tourism and hospitality industry — Maui’s largest employment sector

Maui receives approximately 3 million or more visitors per year, making it Hawaii’s second most visited island after O‘ahu. Tourism and hospitality generate approximately 40–50% of Maui County’s jobs and tax revenue. The major resort concentrations are:

Wailea / Makena (South Maui): Grand Wailea (Waldorf Astoria; 780 rooms; ~2,000 employees); Four Seasons Maui at Wailea (380 rooms; ~1,200 employees); Andaz Maui at Wailea (321 rooms); Fairmont Kea Lani (450 suites); Marriott Maui Ocean Club; Wailea Beach Resort (Marriott). Wailea hotel employment exceeds 5,000 in peak season and generates high demand for workforce housing in Kihei and Kahului (where most workers can afford to live).

Kaanapali / West Maui: Hyatt Regency Maui (806 rooms; ~1,200 employees); Sheraton Maui (508 rooms; ~800 employees); Marriott’s Maui Ocean Club; Westin Nanea; Kaanapali Beach Hotel. Kaanapali/West Maui hotels employed approximately 4,000–5,000 people pre-wildfire; post-wildfire some pivoted to disaster housing contracts before returning to tourism operations.

Tourism workers — who often earn $35,000–$60,000 in wages but face Maui rents of $2,000–$3,500+/month for 1BR units — are the core of Maui’s workforce housing crisis. The Lahaina wildfire concentrated this crisis by eliminating the affordable workforce housing stock in the town where many West Maui resort workers lived.

Alexander & Baldwin (NYSE:ALEX) — Maui’s largest private landowner

Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. (NYSE:ALEX; headquartered in Honolulu with Maui as its primary real estate portfolio) is Maui’s largest private landowner, with a history rooted in Hawaii’s plantation era. Alexander & Baldwin traces its history to 1870 and for over a century operated the Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company (HC&S), the largest sugar plantation in the US. HC&S harvested its last sugar cane in December 2016, ending 145 years of continuous sugar production on Maui and converting Alexander & Baldwin into a pure-play commercial real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on Hawaii.

Alexander & Baldwin’s Maui-centric real estate portfolio includes Kaahumanu Center (Kahului; Maui’s dominant enclosed mall; ~900,000 sq ft), Maui Marketplace (Kahului; power strip center), Puunene Shopping Center, and Harbor Shops (Kahului Harbor). The company also holds significant agricultural land on Maui in former plantation areas that are transitioning to other uses. Total Hawaii real estate assets exceed approximately $1.5–2.0B. Alexander & Baldwin employs approximately 300–500 people in Hawaii and generated approximately $200M+ in revenue in FY2024.

Maui Memorial Medical Center — ONLY HOSPITAL ON MAUI, Level II Trauma

Maui Memorial Medical Center (221 Mahalani Street, Wailuku, HI 96793) is the only hospital on Maui island — the largest hospital facility in Maui County — with 213 beds and Level II Trauma designation. Maui Memorial is operated under a management agreement by Kaiser Permanente (since 2017) on behalf of the Maui Health System, which is state-owned under the Hawaii State Department of Health.

Maui Memorial employs approximately 1,500+ clinical and administrative staff, including registered nurses, physicians, technicians, and support personnel. As the only hospital on a 727-square-mile island with 165,000 residents and 3M+ annual visitors, Maui Memorial handles emergency care, trauma, obstetrics, surgery, and specialty services for the entire island including post-wildfire casualty care in August 2023. Healthcare employment generates steady demand in Wailuku and Kahului across all rent tiers.

The island also has Kula Hospital (small critical-access facility in Upcountry Maui) and Molokai General Hospital (Kaunakakai, Moloka‘i; also Kaiser-managed; small critical-access facility serving Moloka‘i and Lāna‘i).

University of Hawaii Maui College (UHMC) and Maui’s education sector

University of Hawaii Maui College (310 Ka‘āhumanu Avenue, Kahului, HI 96732) is a community college in the University of Hawaii system, serving approximately 3,500+ students in credit and non-credit programs including nursing/health sciences, culinary arts, digital arts, and liberal arts transfer programs. UHMC employs approximately 400 full-time and part-time faculty and staff.

The Maui public school system (Hawaii Department of Education; all schools are state schools in Hawaii’s unified statewide district) employs approximately 2,500–3,000 teachers and administrators across Maui County’s ~30 public schools. Teacher salaries on Maui in 2026 range from approximately $55,000–$85,000 depending on experience, generating steady demand in the Kahului and Wailuku workforce housing market.

Maui landlord compliance checklist 2026

1. No standing rent control — but check emergency status for West Maui. Maui County has no rent control ordinance. In non-wildfire-affected areas, raise rent at market rates at lease renewal. For West Maui properties in or adjacent to disaster-declared areas, verify current emergency proclamation status with a Hawaii attorney before issuing rent increases.
2. Verify STR Ordinance 4970 compliance if applicable. If you operate or are considering an STR on Maui, confirm your Maui County STR permit status. Operating an unpermitted STR in a residential zone may result in County enforcement action and significant fines. If you are converting an STR to LTR, ensure the transition is properly documented.
3. Apply the 1-month deposit cap (HRS §521-44(b)). Collect no more than one month’s rent as a security deposit, regardless of the unit’s market value. Do not accept a larger deposit even if the tenant offers it.
4. Pay 5% per annum deposit interest annually (HRS §521-44(d)). Calculate the annual interest (deposit × 5%) and pay it to the tenant annually or credit it against rent. Maintain a written ledger of interest payments for every tenancy. This is a mandatory Hawaii statutory obligation, not waivable by lease language.
5. Hold deposit in a separate account. Do not commingle security deposits with operating funds or personal accounts. Maintain separate records for each tenancy.
6. Return deposit within 14 days with itemized statement — STRICT (HRS §521-44(c)). After the tenant vacates, return the deposit balance with a written itemized statement of deductions within 14 days. Only actual damage beyond normal wear and tear, unpaid rent, and permitted lease charges may be deducted. Calendar the 14-day deadline from move-out date immediately. This is the strictest return deadline in the US (tied with Arizona and Alaska).
7. Beware treble (3×) damages (HRS §521-44(e)). Wrongfully withholding the deposit or missing the 14-day deadline exposes you to THREE TIMES the withheld amount plus attorney’s fees. At Maui’s rent levels, late deposit returns are expensive mistakes.
8. Serve 5-day notice and file at Second Circuit Court — no self-help (HRS §521-63). For non-payment of rent, serve a 5-day written demand. If the tenant pays within 5 days, accept the payment. After 5 days without payment or surrender, file a Complaint for Summary Possession at the District Court of the Second Circuit, 2145 Main Street, Wailuku, HI 96793. Never use self-help eviction (lock changes, utility shutoffs, removal of belongings) — this violates HRS §521-63 and entitles the tenant to damages and attorney’s fees.

Use RentCeiling for Maui and Hawaii rent compliance

Maui’s rental market in 2026 is shaped by three converging forces: (1) no rent control (landlords raise rents freely in non-emergency areas), (2) the most demanding deposit compliance in the Western US (14-day return tied fastest in US; mandatory 5% annual interest; 3× treble damages), and (3) the ongoing Lahaina wildfire housing crisis that disrupted West Maui supply and drove demand concentration throughout the island. Maui landlords must track deposit deadlines precisely — the combination of Hawaii’s 14-day return window and 3× damages exposure is the strictest in the US.

RentCeiling tracks deposit return deadlines (Hawaii’s critical 14-day window), annual deposit interest payment schedules (5% per annum), move-out itemization documentation, and 5-day non-payment notice timelines so Maui landlords stay compliant with HRS Chapter 521 across every unit in their portfolio.
