Tell us about Bill 41

Question

I would like to know if anyone is familiar with the bill banning short-term vacation rentals on Oahu.
First of all, the definition of vacation rental is renting out one's property to tourists, etc. to earn income.
If I rent out my property to an acquaintance （ or friend of a friend ） instead of a tourist, would that still be a violation of the rule? ？
Also, I sometimes see people renting out single family homes in upscale residential areas such as Kahala and Hawaii Kai, etc. How can I legally operate a vacation rental in such areas? What are the specific requirements to legally operate a vacation rental in such residential areas ？?

＃ Dear Waikiki
Thank you for your detailed explanation. This is the most troublesome thing that can be excused by exchanging cash for so much as lending it to an acquaintance. Keeping in mind that it may not make sense, I will consider reporting it if it is too annoying. Very helpful.
I hope that people like Mr. Waikiki, who follow the rules and operate the site honestly, will not be harmed.
Thank you very much for your answer.

It's better to do it than not. Good luck.

If you have a noise or drug problem, it is more effective to call 311. When I have reported noise problems and bulky trash, I have been treated well.

＃ Mr. Waikiki
It is better to do than not to do. You are right.
Thank you also for the link to the caller. I will give it a try regardless of the outcome.
Thank you very much.

I understand the complications and your feelings.
The law itself is also complicated, and there are likely to be more changes in the future, such as the minimum 90-day rental （ since last October, where this very Bill 41) was blocked for the time being. The current mayor is cheering for a tough crackdown on illegal vaqueros, but the topic itself has a variety of voices. As mentioned above, I think the most reliable information is to contact DPP.

It's not always the case that because it's in Waikiki, it's ok to buy a vaquero, so the best precaution is to make sure you know exactly what you're getting into before you buy. I think the best way to prevent problems is to do your homework on the property before you buy it.

Thank you again for your comments.
It is a very difficult issue.
I'm sure there are many people who are confused by the enforcement of laws that were not in place when they purchased the property to do vaqueros, and on the other hand, it is not very welcoming for residents to have strangers swapping in and out of a residential area. I will keep an eye on the future fluctuations, taking into account the advice I have received. Thank you both so much for your detailed explanations.
