Kansas Eviction Standards Under Landlord-Tenant Act

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.
