Kansas Notice to Pay Rent or Quit Template

What a Kansas notice to pay rent or quit must include under Kansas law, and a fill-in draft that follows those rules.

What Kansas law requires

Written notice of nonpayment and of the landlord's intention to terminate the rental agreement if rent is not paid within 3 days. The 3 days are three consecutive 24-hour periods starting at delivery or posting when the notice is served on the tenant or on someone over 12 residing on the premises, or posted in a conspicuous place; if mailed, add 2 days from the mailing date. Before filing the eviction suit, a 3-day notice to leave the premises must also be delivered (same methods, or mailing to the premises address; weekends and holidays count), but it may be combined with the RLTA notice.

Fill-in draft

Replace every [bracketed] item. If your state or city requires specific wording, a specific form, or a translated version, that requirement controls over this draft. Courts dismiss eviction cases over defective notices — if anything is unclear, talk to a lawyer.
