Living in Oahu, HI

Oahu is the third-largest island in Hawaii and is home to Honolulu, the state’s capital. This large city is a popular place to rent in, boasting breathtaking scenery, a laidback lifestyle, a thriving economy, vibrant culture, delicious food and rich history. Oahu is also well-known for its beautiful weather with sunny skies and warm temperatures year-round, thereby allowing renters to enjoy the outdoors for almost the entire year. However, the city also experiences a range of climate conditions depending on its elevation and location. The island’s highest peak, Mount Ka’ala, is blanketed in clouds and mist, while the low-lying areas around Honolulu are typically sunny and dry. Trade winds also play a role in Oahu’s climate, bringing cooler air from the north during the daytime and warmer air from the south at night. As a result, renters can experience various climates within a few miles.

Renting in Oahu, HI

Given its popularity, there are a range of housing options available for rent in Oahu, from high-rise apartments for rent to beachfront bungalows. While Honolulu and Waikiki offer rental properties with access to the island’s attractions, they can also be competitive and crowded. So, for a more laidback atmosphere, Kailua or Haleiwa on the Windward Coast have houses and apartments for rent in communities with a slower pace that’s great for families with children. Or, for renters looking for an upscale neighborhood with luxury amenities, Hawaii Kai or Diamond Head may be a good fit. And, for renters who want to be closer to nature, the stretch of coast called the North Shore has some of the world’s most popular and scenic beaches. Note that, according to Hawaii law, the security deposit in Oahu cannot exceed one month’s rent, and prior written notice is required to increase the rent or terminate the lease. Additionally, rental units typically include central systems and appliances, but not utilities. Accordingly, the responsibility for paying utilities should be agreed upon between the parties in the lease.
