Free Kansas Eviction Notice Template

A Kansas eviction notice is a legal document landlords must serve before filing an eviction case in district court. It explains the reason for eviction, the time the tenant has to fix the problem or move out, and is required under Kansas Statutes Chapter 58 before the court will hear the case.

Kansas law sets specific timelines depending on the issue. Use Document Genius to choose the correct notice type before creating your document.

• 3-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit (KS Stat § 58-2508): Used when tenants have lived in the property for fewer than three months and failed to pay rent. Gives them three days to pay or move out.
• 10-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit (KS Stat § 58-2507): For tenants with a tenancy longer than three months. Gives ten days to pay overdue rent or leave.
• 14-Day Notice to Comply or Vacate (KS Stat § 58-2564(a)): Served for a first lease violation. Tenant has 14 days to fix the issue or must vacate within 30 days.
• 30-Day Notice to Quit for Repeat Violations: If a similar violation occurs within six months of a prior 14-day notice, the landlord may give a 30-day notice with no option to cure.
• 30-Day Lease Termination Notice (Month-to-Month) (KS Stat § 58-2570): Ends a month-to-month tenancy with at least 30 days’ written notice when there’s no lease violation.

Follow these steps to complete your notice correctly:

1. Choose the right notice type for your situation
2. Add landlord and tenant names with the rental property address
3. Explain the reason for eviction if required by law
4. Include the legal notice period for payment, compliance, or move-out
5. Sign and date the notice before serving it

Kansas law allows landlords to deliver notices by:

• Personal delivery to the tenant
• Certified or registered mail (return receipt recommended)
• Posting the notice at the rental property if the tenant can’t be found

Keep proof of service for the court case.

If the tenant doesn’t comply by the deadline:

• File an eviction petition and summons in the district court
• The court sets a hearing date within 3–14 days
• If the landlord wins, the court issues a Writ of Restitution so the sheriff can remove the tenant if necessary

Landlords may need these forms for Kansas eviction cases:

• Eviction Summons: Notifies the tenant about the eviction case and hearing date
• Answer to Petition for Eviction: Tenant’s written response to the lawsuit
• Writ of Restitution for Immediate Possession: Authorizes law enforcement to remove the tenant if they don’t leave voluntarily
