Kan. Stat. Ann. § 58-2519
Executors and administrators shall have the same remedies to recover rents, and be subject to the same liabilities to pay them, as their testators and intestates.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501 through 58-2519, when a landlord or tenant dies, the person appointed to manage their estate—an executor (named in a will) or administrator (appointed by a court)—steps into the same legal position regarding rent as the deceased person held. This means the estate representative can pursue unpaid rent owed to the deceased landlord, and can equally be held responsible for rent obligations the deceased tenant left behind. The rule ensures that death does not extinguish either the right to collect rent or the duty to pay it.

For Property Managers

Under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501 through 58-2519, a property owner's estate representative inherits the full authority to collect rent that the deceased landlord would have had, including pursuing overdue amounts. Compliant estate administrators typically continue to document rent obligations, communicate with tenants about payment, and pursue collection through the same legal channels available to the original landlord. Operators managing properties on behalf of an estate generally maintain the same records and lease documentation that would be expected of a living landlord.

For Tenants

Under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501 through 58-2519, if your landlord passes away, the executor or administrator of their estate holds the same right to collect rent as the landlord did, and tenants remain obligated to pay. Conversely, if a tenant dies, their estate may be held responsible for any unpaid rent under the same rules that would have applied to the tenant. Tenants navigating these situations may find it helpful to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service familiar with Kansas landlord-tenant law to understand how these obligations apply generally.
