A Timeline of the Tenant Eviction Process in Kansas
As Kansas Legal Services explains, tenant eviction laws in Kansas require landlords to give tenants a 3-day notice to pay rent or vacate the property. For a breach of lease, landlords must provide tenants with a 14-day notice.
Landlords can only file for eviction if tenants don't pay within three days or move out. If the reason is a breach of lease, tenants have 14 days to correct the issue or 30 days to leave; if they don't, landlords can file for eviction. An example of a breach of lease is exceeding the allowed number of pets in the rental property.
Once filed, the court will set an initial hearing within 14 days of the tenant receiving the Petition. After this, the court will schedule an eviction trial, often within eight days. If the landlord wins, the tenant will have until a specific date to move out.
As you can see, evictions in Kansas, including Wichita, can take several weeks, even months, depending on the reason.
