Kan. Stat. Ann. § 58-2512

Plain English

Under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501 through 58-2512, if a tenant violates the duties outlined in the preceding section (K.S.A. 58-2511), the landlord gains a legal right to reclaim the rental property. Before exercising that right, the landlord must first provide the tenant with a written ten-day notice to vacate. Only after that notice period expires without the tenant leaving may the landlord—or someone acting on the landlord's behalf—lawfully re-enter and remove the tenant, subtenant, or undertenant from the premises.

For Property Managers

Under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501–58-2512, a landlord who believes a tenant has violated K.S.A. 58-2511 generally begins by documenting the specific violation and then issuing a written ten-day notice to quit possession. Compliant operators typically ensure the notice is properly served and that the full ten-day period runs before taking any steps toward re-entry. Attempting to reclaim the premises before that notice period has elapsed—or without a documented basis for the violation—can expose a landlord to legal challenges, so careful recordkeeping is a common practice.

For Tenants

Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501–58-2512 establishes that a landlord's right to re-enter only arises after a ten-day notice to quit has been properly given and the notice period has passed. Tenants who receive such a notice may have grounds to contest whether an actual violation of K.S.A. 58-2511 occurred, and that question can be raised as a defense in any subsequent eviction or unlawful detainer proceeding. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services in Kansas can help explain what options are generally available to someone who has received a ten-day notice under this provision.
