Under K.S.A. 58-2557, a Kansas landlord may enter a rented dwelling only at reasonable hours and after reasonable notice to the tenant, except in emergencies. The statute sets no fixed hours-of-notice figure but bars abusing access to harass the tenant.
K.S.A. 58-2557(a) provides that "the landlord shall have the right to enter the dwelling unit at reasonable hours, after reasonable notice to the tenant," to inspect, make repairs or improvements, supply services, or show the unit to prospective buyers or tenants. Kansas does not specify a numeric notice period (such as 24 hours), so what is "reasonable" depends on circumstances. Under subsection (b), the landlord may enter without consent only "in case of an extreme hazard" involving potential loss of life or severe property damage. Subsection (c) states the landlord "shall not abuse the right of access or use it to harass the tenant."
No specific statutory penalty. A tenant facing unlawful entry or harassment may recover damages and obtain injunctive relief, and may have grounds to terminate under K.S.A. 58-2559.
