Kan. Stat. Ann. § 58-25,117
Material noncompliance by landlord; notice; termination of rental agreement; limitations; remedies; security deposit.
Operative Text
(a) Except as provided in this act, if there is a material noncompliance by the landlord with the rental agreement or a noncompliance with K.S.A. 58-25,111 materially affecting health and safety, the tenant may deliver a written notice to the landlord specifying the acts and omissions constituting the breach and that the rental agreement will terminate upon a date not less than 30 days after receipt of the notice. The rental agreement shall terminate and the mobile home space shall be vacated as provided in the notice, subject to the following: (1) If the breach is remediable by repairs or the payment of damages or otherwise and the landlord initiates a good faith effort to remedy the breach within 14 days after receipt of the notice, the rental agreement shall not terminate. However, in the event that the same or a similar breach occurs after the fourteen-day period provided herein, the tenant may deliver a written notice to the landlord specifically describing the breach and stating that the rental agreement shall terminate upon a date not less than 30 days after the receipt of such notice by the landlord. The rental agreement then shall terminate as provided in such notice. (2) The tenant may not terminate for a condition caused by the deliberate or negligent act or omission of the tenant, a member of the tenant's family or other person in the mobile home park with the tenant's consent. (b) Except as provided in this act, the tenant may recover damages, and obtain injunctive relief for any noncompliance by the landlord with the rental agreement or with K.S.A. 58-25,111. (c) The remedy provided in subsection (b) is in addition to any right of the tenant arising under subsection (a). (d) If the rental agreement is terminated, the landlord shall return that portion of the security deposit recoverable by the tenant under K.S.A. 58-25,108.
Under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501 through 58-25,117, when a landlord materially fails to comply with a rental agreement or violates health-and-safety obligations, a tenant in a mobile home park may end the tenancy by delivering written notice at least 30 days in advance. If the landlord begins a good-faith effort to fix the problem within 14 days of receiving that notice, the agreement stays in place—but a repeat of the same or similar breach can restart the termination process. Separately, tenants may also pursue damages and injunctive relief for landlord noncompliance, and any security deposit owed must be returned upon termination according to the standards set out in K.S.A. 58-25,108.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501 through 58-25,117, operators of mobile home parks generally protect themselves by promptly addressing any written notice of breach—specifically by initiating a documented, good-faith repair or remediation effort within the 14-day window the statute provides. Keeping records of maintenance requests, repair timelines, and communications helps demonstrate that corrective action was taken in good faith. Landlords who allow the same or similar conditions to recur after the initial notice period face a renewed termination process, so ongoing compliance with the rental agreement and health-and-safety standards is important to maintaining tenancies.

Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501 through 58-25,117 gives mobile home park tenants the right to terminate a rental agreement when a landlord materially breaches the lease or violates health-and-safety requirements, provided a proper written notice describing the specific breach is delivered at least 30 days before the intended termination date. Tenants also have the right to seek monetary damages and injunctive relief for landlord noncompliance, and these remedies can be pursued alongside—not instead of—the termination option. Tenants who believe their landlord has violated this provision may consider consulting a tenant-rights organization, reviewing complaint options available through local or state housing authorities, or exploring whether the violation can be raised as a defense in any related legal proceeding.
