Kansas Notice to Vacate

Kansas notice periods

Each period is the one LeaseCraft's record of the statute holds. Read it with the conditions under it: some periods are minimums and some apply unless the lease sets another. "Lease controls" means the record holds no statutory period for that situation, and "No pre-suit notice" means it holds no notice before filing. The source column shows the law and the date LeaseCraft read it on the official site (most recently 2026-09-27).

What the Kansas statute says

Ending a month-to-month tenancy: 30 calendar days

• Written notice stating that the tenancy terminates on a periodic rent-paying date not less than 30 days after RECEIPT of the notice (K.S.A. 58-2570(b)); same for tenant.
• A rental agreement for a term longer than month-to-month is not month-to-month merely because rent is paid monthly (58-2570(b)).

Ending a week-to-week tenancy: 7 calendar days

• Week-to-week: written notice at least seven days prior to the termination date specified in the notice (58-2570(a)).

Tenant staying after the lease ends: Lease controls

• Tenant remaining without consent after expiration of the term: landlord may bring an action for possession and, for willful bad-faith holdover, recover up to 1.5 months' periodic rent or 1.5x actual damages (58-2570(c)); no separate notice period stated. K.S.A. 58-2509: no notice to quit is necessary where the lease specifies the termination time.

Preparing the notice

The form asks for the tenancy, the date the tenant must leave and how the notice is delivered, and states the notice period plainly. You enter the period; where LeaseCraft has verified the Kansas period for ending a month-to-month tenancy, it refuses a shorter one.

A notice is not a court order and does not by itself remove a tenant. Cities and counties can add rules. LeaseCraft is not a law firm and this is not legal advice.
