Plain English

Under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501 through 58-25,115, a landlord in a mobile home park has no right to enter a tenant's mobile home itself without the tenant's consent, except in extreme emergencies involving potential loss of life or severe property damage. The landlord does, however, retain the right to access the mobile home space (the lot or pad) at reasonable hours for purposes such as inspections, repairs, improvements, or showing the space to prospective buyers or tenants. The law also expressly prohibits a landlord from abusing access rights or using them as a tool to harass a tenant.

For Property Managers

Under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501 through 58-25,115, compliant mobile home park operators distinguish clearly between the tenant's mobile home structure—which requires tenant consent to enter—and the mobile home space or lot, which may be accessed at reasonable hours for legitimate purposes such as inspections, repairs, or showings. Operators generally document the purpose and timing of any space entry and avoid patterns of entry that could be characterized as harassment. Entries into the mobile home itself without consent are reserved only for genuine emergencies involving imminent risk of life or severe property damage.

For Tenants

Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501 through 58-25,115 gives tenants in mobile home parks a meaningful privacy right: a landlord generally cannot enter the mobile home structure without the tenant's permission, and access to the lot itself must occur at reasonable hours and for legitimate purposes. If a landlord repeatedly enters without consent or in a manner that feels harassing, that conduct may constitute a violation of the statute's express anti-harassment provision. Tenants who believe their access rights are being violated may consider documenting each incident, contacting a local tenant-rights organization, or consulting with a housing attorney about available remedies.
