Kansas Breach of Lease

Landlord Advice

A Kansas breach of lease notice is a letter addressed to the tenant from the landlord. It is a form of notification from the property manager or the landlord to the tenant of a rental unit informing them that they’ve breached the original lease agreement they signed when renting your premise. A notice of lease violation can follow a specific format, or it can be a letter, all in all, it should be formal just in case the landlord wishes to take legal actions to action the tenant.

Why do you need a Kansas Breach of Lease Notice?

As a landlord or property manager, you’ll need a violation of lease notice to notify your tenant that they’ve broken the terms of the original lease agreement. As a landlord, you cannot issue an eviction letter if the tenant breaches their lease agreement for the first time.

Kansas state laws require that a breach of lease notice be issued and the tenant given days’ notice for him/her to remedy. If the tenant does not remedy within the stated days in the breach of lease, you can go ahead and issue them with an eviction notice.

When a breach of lease is justified in Kansas

Some exceptions blanket the rule that a tenant in Kansas who breaks a lease is expected to pay rent for the entire lease term. The tenant can legally move out of the leased premise before the lease term ends under the following circumstances:

  • If the tenant is starting active military duty. If the tenant enters active military service after signing a lease agreement, they can terminate the lease agreement. However, a proper notice should be given by the tenant before terminating the tenancy.
  • A tenant can terminate the tenancy if the rental unit is unsafe or if the rental unit violates Kansas safety or health codes.
  • If you violate the tenant’s privacy rights, the tenant has the right to terminate the lease agreement. Kansas state laws require the landlord to give reasonable notice before entering a tenant’s dwelling unit.
