Kansas Residential Rent Increase Notice

Kansas Residential Rent Increase Notice

Use this form after checking the lease and any applicable program or property-specific requirements. For a mobile-home-park space rental, use the separate Kansas Mobile Home Park Rent Increase Notice: K.S.A. § 58-25,109(f) requires written notice at least 60 days before an increase and limits its effective date. Kansas generally bars local rent-control ordinances on privately owned property under K.S.A. § 12-16,120. The section preserves control of property owned by a political subdivision and voluntary rent restrictions accepted in return for public grants or incentives. Complete the effective date and notice period from the rules that actually govern the unit.
