Who May Serve and How: HRCP Rule 4 in Napili-Honokowai
Because this community lies in the Second Circuit, personal service on an individual follows Rule 4(d)(1). The server can hand over the summons and complaint, or, failing to find the person, can leave them where the person lives with a resident of suitable age and discretion, or can deliver to an agent authorized by appointment or law. The rule does not mention a front desk clerk at a rental property. A business defendant is reached through an officer, a managing or general agent, or another authorized agent, under Rule 4(d)(3).
The court receives the server's proof of service under Rule 4(g) promptly and within the response time. Under Rule 12(a)(1) the defendant's answer is generally due 20 days after service, with room for a different time set by statute or order. In the Rule 4 wording we checked, no deadline for finishing service is given.

When the dispute is over rent or a breach, chapter 521 supplies a separate period, so read the current statute or the notice before relying on any figure; that choice belongs to the landlord or attorney.
