Kansas Landlord Compliance Kit: Deposit, Notice and Eviction Checklists with an Excel Tracker

Who it is for

Landlords and property managers with rentals in Kansas, and tenants who want the same record, from move-in through move-out or a court case.

Not the right fit if

Your rental is outside Kansas: get that state's kit. Not legal advice, not a lawyer's review of a lease, notice or court case, and not a set of legal notice forms; city and county rules aren't covered.

Why it is different

• Built only from our Kansas data files, checked November 2026 against 7 official pages, among them Kansas Revisor of Statutes: K.S.A. 58-2550; Kansas Revisor of Statutes: K.S.A. 58-2570; Kansas Revisor of Statutes: K.S.A. 58-2564; Kansas Revisor of Statutes: K.S.A. 58-2557; Kansas Statutes 61-3808: Writ of restitution; Kansas Judicial Council: Procedures for Small Claims Cases, Plaintiff Instructions (rev. 10/2025).
• 12 items the official pages didn't state are marked "not confirmed" with the page to check, never guessed.
• The workbook recalculates with zero formula errors and works out Kansas notice and deposit dates for you.

What is inside

• Start here. How to use the kit, the 11 confirmed Kansas rules at a glance and the 12 items to confirm: interest on the deposit, where the deposit is held, rent increase notice, late fee limits, court, filing fee, time to answer or appear, hearing after filing and more, each with the official page to check.
• Kansas landlord rules checklist. Deposits, notice periods, the eviction case and the small claims limit, each confirmed rule with its source link and check date. What it confirms: deposit limit: One month's rent unfurnished; one and one-half months furnished; plus up to one-half month's rent for pets (58-2550(a)); return deadline: Within 14 days after the amount owed is determined, and in no event more than 30 days after the tenancy ends, with a written notice itemizing deductions (58-2550(b)); itemized list of deductions: Deductions itemized in a written notice delivered to the tenant (58-2550(b)); penalty the law states: One and one-half times the amount wrongfully withheld, plus the deposit due (58-2550(c)); ending month-to-month (landlord): Written notice naming a rent-paying date at least 30 days after it is received (7 days for week-to-week); ending month-to-month (tenant): Written notice naming a rent-paying date at least 30 days after it is received (7 days for week-to-week); unpaid rent notice: 3 days after written notice, counted as three consecutive 24-hour periods from delivery or posting; mailed notice adds two days; entry notice: Reasonable notice at reasonable hours; no notice for an extreme hazard.
• Move-in and move-out deposit checklist. A room-by-room condition checklist for both visits and the steps after move-out, with Kansas's return deadline (within 30 days).
• Notice calendar. When each notice must go out: the lead time for every notice the state's text confirms, with a 2027 month-by-month serve-by table worked out with our notice date calculator's rules.
• Eviction timeline sheet. The Kansas case in order from notice to lockout, with each confirmed stage, an example dated from a sample filing day where the rules give periods, and blanks for your own case dates.
• Kansas landlord workbook (Excel). A tenant notice log that dates each notice from the Kansas rules, a deposit tracker that works out the return date for each move-out, and a rent ledger with a running balance.
