Kan. Stat. Ann. § 58-25,123
(a) The landlord may terminate a tenancy only as provided in this act.

(b) If the tenant remains in possession without the landlord's consent after expiration of the term of the rental agreement or its termination, the landlord may bring an action for possession. If the tenant's holdover is willful and not in good faith the landlord in addition may recover an amount not to exceed 1½ months' periodic rent or 1½ the actual damages sustained by the landlord, whichever is greater.

Plain English

Under Kansas law (Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501 – 58-25,123), a landlord's ability to end a tenancy is limited to the methods set out in the Kansas Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. If a tenant stays in a rental unit after the lease has expired or been terminated without the landlord's agreement, the landlord is permitted to pursue a court action to regain possession of the property. When a tenant's holdover is found to be willful and not in good faith, the landlord may also seek additional monetary damages beyond just recovering the unit.

For Property Managers

Under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501 – 58-25,123, compliant operators follow only the termination procedures established by Kansas's residential tenancy statutes and do not resort to self-help measures such as changing locks or removing belongings. When a tenant remains after a lease ends without consent, operators typically initiate a formal court action for possession. Where the holdover appears willful and not in good faith, operators document actual damages carefully, since the statute allows recovery of up to 1½ months' periodic rent or 1½ times actual damages, whichever is greater.

For Tenants

Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501 – 58-25,123 limits the ways a landlord can lawfully end a tenancy, meaning any termination outside those statutory methods may be challengeable. Tenants who believe they have a legitimate reason for remaining in a unit—such as a dispute over proper notice—may be able to raise that good-faith basis as a defense in a possession action brought by the landlord. Tenants facing such proceedings may benefit from contacting a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office to understand the defenses and procedures available under Kansas law.
