How To Write a Lease Termination Notice in Kansas

To ensure the legal compliance of a lease termination notice:

  1. Use the full name of the receiving party, and address of record, if known
  2. Specify the termination date of the lease or tenancy
  3. Fill in the full address of the rental premises
  4. Provide updated/current address and phone number information
  5. Print name and sign the notice
  6. 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.

How To Calculate Expiration Date in Kansas

The “clock” for a lease termination notice starts “ticking” the day after the notice gets delivered (served). For example, to give at least 30 days of notice and terminate a tenancy as of June 30th, delivery of the termination letter must be no later than May 31st. 

In most jurisdictions, if the last day of a notice period is a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the period continues to run until the end of the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.

How To Serve a Lease Termination Notice in Kansas

Kansas landlords and tenants may deliver a lease termination notice using any of the following methods:

    1. Hand delivery to the other party
    2. Hand delivery to the other party’s usual place of business or residence, as appropriate
    3. Hand delivery to a person at least age 12 on the property who can accept the notice on behalf of the other party
    4. Delivery by registered or certified mail, to be proven by return receipt
    5. Only if no person can be found on the property: Posting at a conspicuous place on the other party’s property, such as the entry door

    Mailed notice may extend a notice period by two (2) calendar days.
