Rental Housing Costs
Rentals on Oahu are expensive and square footage is limited. Average rental rates are studio, $1,200; one bedroom, $1,500; two bedrooms, $1,800; three bedrooms, $2,600; and four bedrooms, $2,900 and up.
Four- and five-bedroom units are all single-family houses, and they are difficult to find.
Nearly all rentals require first and last month’s rent, which doubles rental costs upon move-in.
Members can request an advance of Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) to help pay for these upfront costs.
