Arrival 46 • Arrive in Hawaii first: Many landlords will not rent via a video conference and want to meet the tenant in person. So, it's best to be in Hawaii before starting your rental search. A local telephone number may also make you a stronger candidate. • Temporary accommodation: A hotel or on-base temporary housing is often a typical place to stay if you can’t secure a rental place off base before arrival. • Check rental websites early and frequently: Craigslist, Facebook, and Zillow are great platforms to look for Hawaii rentals. New properties are listed all the time and often rented very quickly, so if you see something of interest, don’t wait. • Beware of scams!: If something seems too good to be true, it often is. For example, looking at comparable listings for a onebedroom will give you an idea of what to expect in terms of pricing. Always meet the property manager in person before sending any money or signing a lease.
