Kan. Stat. Ann. § 58-2505
Termination of tenancy from year-to-year; notice.
Operative Text
All tenancies from year to year, other than farm tenancies from year-to-year, may be terminated by at least thirty days' notice in writing, given to the tenant prior to the expiration of the year.
Under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501–58-2505, a year-to-year tenancy (excluding farm tenancies) can be brought to an end by providing the tenant with at least 30 days' written notice before the current lease year expires. The rule sets a minimum notice period and specifies that the notice must be delivered in writing. Farm tenancies from year to year are explicitly carved out and governed separately.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators managing year-to-year residential tenancies in Kansas under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501–58-2505 generally ensure that any termination notice is prepared in writing and delivered to the tenant no fewer than 30 days before the lease year ends. Compliant operators keep records of when and how the written notice was delivered to demonstrate that the timing requirement was met. Because farm tenancies are excluded from this provision, property managers handling agricultural leases should look to separate statutory authority.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501–58-2505 establishes that a landlord ending a year-to-year residential tenancy must give at least 30 days' written notice before the lease year concludes. If a tenant receives a termination notice that appears to fall short of this requirement—whether in form or timing—that potential deficiency may be raised as a defense in an eviction proceeding or explored with a local tenant-rights organization. Tenants uncertain about whether their tenancy qualifies as a year-to-year arrangement, or whether the notice they received complies with this provision, may benefit from consulting a legal aid office or tenant advocacy group familiar with Kansas landlord-tenant law.
