Just cause eviction rules in Shawnee, KS — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Kansas does not require just cause for eviction. The Kansas Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (K.S.A. 58-2540 et seq.) governs statewide eviction procedures, allowing no-cause termination of month-to-month tenancies with 30 days' notice. Local just-cause ordinances would conflict with statewide procedural framework.
Kansas eviction law is governed by the Kansas Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. K.S.A. 58-2570 permits termination of month-to-month tenancies with 30 days' written notice without cause. K.S.A. 58-2564 allows landlords to terminate with 14 days' notice for non-compliance, requiring tenants to cure within 14 days. K.S.A. 58-2564a allows three-day notice for nonpayment of rent. The Act provides a uniform statewide framework intended to balance landlord and tenant rights. Cities lack authority to add substantive just-cause requirements that conflict with these procedures, though they may regulate housing conditions.
Eviction filings must comply with statutory notice periods. Defective notices result in dismissal. Wrongful eviction may expose landlords to damages and attorney fees under K.S.A. 58-2563.
