A Hawaii Writ of Possession is a legal document issued by the court in the State of Hawaii that allows a landlord to force a tenant to vacate a rental property and surrender possession of the premises. The Writ of Possession orders the tenant to vacate the premises within a certain amount of time. There are two types of Hawaii Writs of Possession: a writ of immediate possession and a writ of delayed possession. A writ of immediate possession allows the landlord to take possession of the premises immediately and evict the tenant without delay. A writ of delayed possession allows the landlord to take possession of the premises after a certain period of time, usually 14 days. Both types of Writs of Possession must be served to the tenant in person or by certified mail.
