A Kansas standard residential lease agreement outlines the terms and conditions governing the rental of residential properties between a landlord and a tenant within the state.
It outlines the specifics of the rented property, including its address, type, and any unique features or conditions associated with the premises.
Lease Length Considerations
- Lease agreements can be of any duration, provided it is explicitly specified and mutually agreed upon in writing by both the landlord and tenant. However, oral lease agreements are typically limited to a maximum of one year.
- If a rental agreement does not fix a definite term, the tenancy defaults to week-to-week for a roomer who pays weekly rent, and in all other cases, it defaults to month-to-month [1] .
Required Lease Disclosures
