Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501 through 58-2540 establishes the official short title of Kansas's primary statute governing the relationship between residential landlords and tenants. The provision gives the law its formal name — the "Residential Landlord and Tenant Act" — which is how the statute is referenced in legal documents, court filings, and official communications throughout the state. This naming provision does not itself create rights or obligations but serves as the foundational citation anchor for the entire act.
