Last Updated: March 29, 2024 by Roberto Valenzuela

Kansas 10 Day Notice To Quit is a letter that complies with state legal requirements to begin eviction against a tenant for nonpayment of rent, in tenancies longer than (3) months. The tenant must pay the balance due or move out within ten (10) calendar days of receiving notice.

When To Use a Kansas 10 Day Notice To Quit

A Kansas 10 Day Notice To Quit begins the eviction process when the tenant has resided on the premises for longer than three (3) months and is late on rent. A landlord may deliver this notice when any portion of the rent remains unpaid, beginning the day after it’s normally due.

Some types of Kansas lease termination notice may allow different reasons for termination, or different notice periods. This may also apply to an eviction notice issued because of a lease or legal violation.

How To Write a Kansas 10 Day Notice To Quit

To help ensure the legal compliance of a Notice To Quit:

  1. Use the full name of the receiving parties, and address of record, if known
  2. Specify the basis upon which the tenancy will terminate, and the payment necessary to avoid termination
  3. Specify the termination date of the lease or tenancy
  4. Fill in the full address of the rental premises
  5. Provide updated/current address and phone number information
  6. Print name and sign the notice
  7. Complete the certificate of service by indicating the date and method of notice delivery, along with printed name and signature

It is easy to lose an otherwise justified legal action because of improper notice. Check carefully to ensure enough time after notice is delivered, not when it’s sent.
