Residential Lease Addendum: Mold Disclosure and Response
This Addendum is made on [DATE] between [LANDLORD NAME] (Landlord) and [TENANT NAME(S)] (Tenant) for [PROPERTY ADDRESS], Kansas. It becomes part of the parties' residential lease dated [LEASE DATE].
1. Disclosure at Signing
Landlord states, based on Landlord's actual knowledge and the records identified below, whether there is known current visible mold, moisture intrusion, or an unresolved condition likely to cause it. Mark one:
☐ No such condition is known to Landlord as of [DATE].
☐ The conditions and past response steps known to Landlord are listed in Exhibit A. Landlord has supplied the records identified there to Tenant.
Tenant's receipt of this disclosure records delivery only. It does not establish that a condition is safe or waive any right or remedy under Kansas law.
2. Reporting and Response
Tenant will promptly tell Landlord about observed water intrusion, persistent moisture, visible growth, or failure of a supplied ventilation or air-conditioning system. Tenant should describe the location, when it was observed, and any urgent damage. Send reports to [LANDLORD CONTACT / ADDRESS / EMAIL / PHONE]. For an urgent condition, Tenant may also call [EMERGENCY NUMBER].
After receiving a report, Landlord will assess the condition within [REASONABLE RESPONSE PERIOD], take appropriate steps to stop an active source of moisture, and arrange necessary investigation, repair, cleaning, or remediation. Landlord will give Tenant a written response describing the planned work, expected access, and any revised schedule. The parties may choose a contractor or specialist appropriate to the condition; this Addendum does not declare any particular certification mandatory.
The response periods entered here are contractual targets. They do not replace duties or remedies supplied by Kansas law.
3. Access and Occupancy During Work
Landlord will request access at reasonable hours after reasonable notice for inspection or necessary or agreed work. In an extreme hazard involving potential loss of life or severe property damage, K.S.A. § 58-2557(b) permits entry without Tenant's consent. Landlord will not abuse access or use it to harass Tenant.
If work makes all or part of the dwelling unusable, the parties will record the work dates, affected area, any temporary arrangements, and any agreed rent adjustment here or in a signed supplement: [TERMS]. This Addendum does not determine statutory remedies in advance.
4. Care of the Dwelling and Allocation of Work
Landlord will perform the duties applicable to Landlord under K.S.A. § 58-2553, including applicable health and safety code compliance and maintenance of supplied or required ventilation and air-conditioning equipment. Tenant will keep the occupied premises as clean and safe as their condition permits, use facilities and appliances reasonably, and avoid damage caused by Tenant or persons or animals on the premises with Tenant's permission, as provided in K.S.A. § 58-2555.
Neither party assumes responsibility for a condition solely because it signed this Addendum or sent a report. The cause, applicable statutory duties, and any recoverable costs must be determined from the facts and law.
5. Statutory Rights and Disputes
This Addendum does not waive either party's rights or remedies under the Kansas Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. It does not require either party to pay the other's attorney fees, limit liability arising under law, or require indemnity for that liability. K.S.A. § 58-2547.
If Landlord materially fails to comply with the lease or with K.S.A. § 58-2553 in a way materially affecting health and safety, Tenant may use the notice and termination procedure in K.S.A. § 58-2559(a), subject to that section's cure and tenant-causation rules. Subsection (b) separately allows damages and injunctive relief for qualifying noncompliance. The parties may also resolve a dispute by written agreement consistent with those rights.
6. Notices and Signatures

Real estate documents transfer ownership, define who can use a property, and record agreements between buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants. Deeds, purchase agreements, leases, and easements have to be drafted to meet state recording requirements, and mistakes show up at closing or years later in title disputes. Good real estate paperwork moves transactions forward quickly and avoids the kind of problems that only surface when it is time to sell or refinance.
