Kan. Stat. Ann. § 58-2522
A joint tenant, or tenant in common, or tenant in coparcenary, may maintain an action against his or her cotenant or coparcener or their personal representatives, for receiving more than his or her just proportion of the rents and profits.

Plain English

Under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501 through 58-2522, when two or more people co-own property as joint tenants, tenants in common, or coparceners, each co-owner is entitled to a proportionate share of any rents and profits the property generates. If one co-owner collects more than their fair share of those rents or profits, the other co-owners have a legal basis to bring a civil action to recover the excess amount. This rule applies even against the personal representatives of a deceased co-owner who may have received an outsized share.

For Property Managers

Property owners who hold title alongside others under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501 through 58-2522 generally maintain clear, transparent accounting of all rental income and profits collected from the shared property. Compliant co-owners distribute rents and profits in proportion to each party's ownership interest and keep records that can substantiate those distributions. When one co-owner manages the property and collects rent on behalf of all, documenting disbursements to each cotenant helps demonstrate that no party received more than their just proportion.

General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.

For Tenants

If you co-own property in Kansas and believe a fellow co-owner has collected more than their proportionate share of rents or profits, Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501 through 58-2522 provides a statutory basis to bring a civil action to recover that excess. This right extends to claims against the personal representatives of a deceased cotenant who may have over-collected during their lifetime. Consulting a tenant-rights organization or reviewing resources on co-ownership disputes can help you understand the general process for pursuing such a claim in Kansas courts.
