Step 1 – Evicting a tenant in Kansas is comprised of four major steps. The first step is to serve the tenant with a notice to quit. Tenancies that are over three months old require a ten (10) day notice, and tenancies less than three months old require a three day notice. Month-to-month tenancies have a minimum thirty (30) days notice period. Tenants who have committed lease violations must receive a 14/30 day notice to “cure” or quit. If they commit the violation(s) for a second time, the landlord can issue a thirty (30) day notice to quit (with no option to fix/cure the violations). The notice should be served personally to the tenant, however it can also be sent through certified mail and posted on the front door of the rental unit.
Step 2 – After the tenant has been served the proper notice, they must either comply with the demands stated within the notice (i.e. pay the rent, vacate the rental unit, cure the violations, etc.) or the lease agreement will be terminated. Only after the tenant has failed to comply with the notice can the landlord file an eviction action (aka “forcible detainer”) in court. The forcible detainer is comprised of a “Summons” and a “Petition.” The forcible detainer is filed with the court clerk, who then assigns a case number and trial/hearing date.
Step 3 – At the trial/hearing, the judge will issue a judgement in favor of the landlord or tenant. If in the favor of the landlord, the tenant will typically have to pay back rent as well as give up possession of the rental property. The tenant can file an appeal no more than five (5) business days after the initial judgement. If the tenant wins the case, the eviction lawsuit will be dismissed.
Step 4 – If no appeal is filed, a “Writ of Restitution” will most likely be issued by the court. This document provides legal authority to the Sheriff to remove the tenant from the rental premises. The property of the defendant (i.e. tenant) will be inventoried under a court order.
