A Kansas sublease agreement is a legal document that permits a tenant (or “sublessor”) to rent out the property they’re currently renting to a third party (the “subtenant”) during part or all of the lease term.
A sublessor must honor the terms of the sublease agreement (as well as the original lease) and follow all Kansas laws regarding the eviction process, security deposits, and all other landlord-tenant matters.
Most residential lease agreements in Kansas have a clause that requires the tenant to receive written permission from the landlord before they can sublease the property. But even if the lease doesn’t specifically require you to get your landlord’s permission, it’s usually a good idea to do so to avoid potential issues.
