Property Ownership
What is a 'notice to quit' versus a 'notice to vacate' in Hawaii landlord-tenant law?
AA. They are identical notices with different names used by different counties
BB. A notice to quit informs the tenant that the tenancy is terminated and they must leave; a notice to vacate typically refers to the tenant informing the landlord they are leaving✓ Correct
CC. A notice to quit is used by tenants; a notice to vacate is used by landlords
DD. Both are court documents; neither can be issued without a judge's order
Explanation
In Hawaii, notices to terminate a tenancy can be confusingly named, but generally: a notice to quit (or terminate) comes from the landlord to the tenant, ending the tenancy and directing the tenant to vacate. Tenants give a notice to vacate (or notice of intent to vacate) when informing the landlord they are leaving.
