A security deposit generally may not exceed one month’s rent for an unfurnished dwelling, or one and a half months if furnished (Kan. Stat. Ann. § 58-2550). Unused deposit plus an itemized list is generally due within 30 days.
Either party may end a month-to-month tenancy with at least 30 days’ written notice (Kan. Stat. Ann. § 58-2570).
The landlord may enter at reasonable times. Except in an emergency, give reasonable notice (Kan. Stat. Ann. § 58-2557).
A Kansas rent increase should be in writing. Many landlords use at least the same notice they would use to end a month-to-month tenancy. Either party may end a month-to-month tenancy with at least 30 days’ written notice (Kan. Stat. Ann. § 58-2570). The lease may require more. Local rent-control rules can cap the amount even when the notice period is met.
