Kansas Eviction Notice

Use our Kansas Eviction Notice to remove a tenant from your rental property.

Updated May 13, 2022 | Legally reviewed by Susan Chai, Esq.

If you’re a landlord seeking to evict a tenant, use a Kansas (KS) eviction notice to begin the process. Your eviction notice must be written according to Kansas state law and give your tenant the legally required amount of time to respond or move out.

In Kansas, eviction lawsuits are governed by Chapter 61, Article 38 of the Kansas Statutes.

Eviction notices in Kansas are also known as:

  • Kansas Notice to Quit
  • Kansas Notice to Pay or Quit
  • Kansas Notice to Vacate
  • Kansas Lease Termination

Eviction Laws & Requirements

  • Eviction Lawsuit: Chapter 61, Article 38 of the Kansas Statutes
  • Grace Period for Rent Payment: Kansas law doesn’t provide grace periods, so rent is due as stated in the rental or lease agreement. (KS Stat § 58-2545)
  • Late or Non-Rent Payment Notice: 3 days (KS Stat § 58-816a) A landlord may charge reasonable late fees if not stated in the rental agreement and give a three-day notice to pay or quit once rent is late (KS Stat § 61-3803)
  • Notice of Non-Compliance: 14 days (KS Stat § 58-2564(a)) A landlord must give the tenant a 14-day notice to comply with lease terms. If the tenant doesn’t cure the default, the landlord may evict the tenant 30 days after the tenant receives the 14-day notice.
  • Lease Termination (Month-to-Month): 30 days (KS Stat § 58-2570) If the lease doesn’t specify, either landlord or tenant may give a 30-day notice to terminate the lease.

What is the Eviction Process in Kansas?

Step 1: Serve eviction notice on the tenant

The landlord must first serve on a tenant a three-day notice to quit the property to start the eviction process. In the notice, they must state the reason(s) for eviction, such as,

  1. failing to pay rent
  2. violating the rental agreement
  3. terminating a month-to-month tenancy.

Step 2: File eviction lawsuit

If a tenant hasn’t moved out after those three days, a landlord may file a summons and eviction petition with the superior court.

Step 3: Schedule hearing date

The court sets a hearing date 3 to 14 days from the issuance of the summons and petition. Both the summons and petition must be served on the tenant.

Step 4: Tenant answers or defaults

If the tenant wants to contest the eviction, they must file a written answer to the summons and petition within the time-frame indicated on the summons.

If the tenant fails to appear at the hearing, the court may enter a default judgment in favor of the landlord and a writ of restitution and execution to regain possession of the property.

Step 5: The court sets the trial date

If the tenant files an answer to the complaint and the court needs more information, a trial date is set for 14 days after the answer has been filed.

Step 6: Landlord wins judgment

If the landlord wins, judgment is entered, and the landlord can request a Writ of Restitution and Execution and Return to remove the tenant from the premises. The execution order is served on the tenant by a marshal.

The tenant then has twenty-four hours to leave the premises.

Step 7: Stay of execution

The tenant has five days after the judgment to file an appeal. If the tenant files an appeal, they may apply for a stay of execution, which means the landlord cannot evict them until after the appeal process is complete.
