What does a Kansas landlord have to disclose with the lease?

Beyond the federal lead paint disclosure for a building built before 1978, the Kansas checklist has two items: name and address of the person who manages the Premises and of the owner or the owner's agent for service of process, notices and demands, in writing at or before the start of the tenancy; and a joint written inventory of the condition of the Premises and any furnishings or appliances, signed in duplicate within five days of occupancy or delivery of possession, with a copy to the Tenant. Each one names its statute and the landlord initials it in the document.

Which Kansas statutes does this lease cite?

Kan. Stat. 58-2550, Kan. Stat. 58-2570, Kan. Stat. 58-2557, Kan. Stat. 58-2551 and Kan. Stat. 58-2548, read on October 23, 2026. They print in the document footer so a reader can check each clause against the statute in a minute.

Should a lawyer look at this Kansas lease before I use it?

It is a general form, not legal advice, and it does not claim to comply with any law. The clauses state what the Kansas statute requires and name the statute. A lawyer who works with Kansas landlords can tell you whether the form fits your property, your city and the terms you want to add, which is worth the hour before signing a lease for a large rent or a long term.

What is different in Kansas

Pick Kansas and four parts of this lease change: the security deposit clause, the notice clause for a month-to-month tenancy, the entry clause and the disclosures checklist, each rewritten from the Kansas statute. The rest of the document reads the same in every state.

Start with the deposit. Kansas caps it at one month's rent for an unfurnished unit or one and a half months' rent for a furnished unit, plus up to half a month's rent as a pet deposit when pets are allowed. The statute does not say where the money is kept, so the lease leaves that to the landlord, but its return rule, quoted in full below, says when and how the deposit comes back, and requires an itemized statement of anything kept.

Ending a month-to-month tenancy works the same from both sides in Kansas. Either party ends a month-to-month tenancy with at least 30 days' written notice, taking effect on a periodic rent-paying date.

Kansas also speaks to when a landlord may come in. The Landlord gives reasonable notice before entering, enters at a reasonable hour, and needs no consent in an extreme hazard involving the potential loss of life or severe property damage.

The disclosures checklist carries two Kansas items on top of the federal lead paint notice, among them name and address of the person who manages the Premises and of the owner or the owner's agent for service of process, notices and demands, in writing at or before the start of the tenancy, each with the section that requires it and a line for the landlord's initials.

This row notes no city or county overlay for Kansas; if the property is in a city with its own rental ordinance, check it before signing. The state clauses follow five sections of Kansas law, read on October 23, 2026 and listed in the Statutes row above; the same citations print in the footer of the PDF.

Read the Kansas clauses

The wording below is what prints in the PDF for Kansas, word for word, under the headings Security deposit, Entry, Ending the lease and default, and Disclosures.

Security deposit

After the tenancy ends and the Tenant delivers possession and demands the deposit, the Landlord returns the balance within 14 days after determining any damages or charges other than rent, and in no case later than 30 days, with a written notice itemizing each deduction, and mails any balance to the Tenant's last known address when no demand is made within 30 days. The deposit may not exceed one month's rent for an unfurnished unit or one and a half months' rent for a furnished unit, plus up to half a month's rent as a pet deposit when pets are allowed.

Entry

The Landlord gives reasonable notice before entering, enters at a reasonable hour, and needs no consent in an extreme hazard involving the potential loss of life or severe property damage.

Ending the lease and default

Either party ends a month-to-month tenancy with at least 30 days' written notice, taking effect on a periodic rent-paying date. If rent is unpaid or a term is broken, the Landlord gives the written notice Kansas law requires before ending the tenancy, and the Tenant is responsible for rent through the end of the term unless the Premises is re-rented sooner.
