Summary

Overland Park has no just-cause eviction ordinance. Kansas landlords end a month-to-month tenancy with 30 days' written notice and no stated reason. Nonpayment triggers a 3-day pay-or-quit notice, and eviction suits run through Johnson County District Court.

The landlord or the tenant may terminate a month-to-month tenancy by a written notice given to the other party stating that the tenancy shall terminate upon a periodic rent-paying date not less than 30 days after the receipt of the notice

Full Breakdown

The Kansas Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, K.S.A. 58-2540 et seq., governs. Under K.S.A. 58-2570(a)-(b), either party ends a week-to-week tenancy on 7 days' notice or a month-to-month tenancy on 30 days' notice tied to a rent-paying date; no cause is required. K.S.A. 58-2564(b) allows termination when rent is unpaid after a 3-day written notice, counted as three consecutive 24-hour periods. Other material lease breaches use the 58-2564(a) sequence: 14 days to cure, termination no sooner than 30 days. The eviction lawsuit itself runs under K.S.A. 61-3801 through 61-3808. Overland Park adds one local layer: OPMC 8.10.030(B) bars housing discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

Violations & Fines

Tenants who stay past a valid termination face a possession suit plus up to 1.5 months' rent for willful holdover.
