Booking a vacation? You're probably wondering, is Airbnb legal in Hawaii? It is! But it's complicated. We summarize what you need to know.

My family is split on this. Overall I think it’s more of a bad thing that really only benefits the big hotel chains. Has this new law affected anyone here negatively or postively?

    I know there are those property hoarder types that people associate this new airbnb law with helping to crack down on. But it doesn’t seem like this would affect them much at all. They don’t live in those houses so they can just rent them out for longer to get around the law.

    Thats what I’ve largely seen. I know a family that has around 10 condos on the west side, and its not like he’s selling them because he can’t airbnb them. I have a couple friends getting evicted rn, and they both work, but like, they want to increase the rent like 50%.

    Still lucky we live hawaii.

    (edit: just to be clear, not getting evicted by the fam with condos. just making the point that the airbnb ban has done nothing to impacts rents)
