Kan. Stat. Ann. § 58-2507
Termination of lease for three months or longer; notice; effect of payment of rent.
Operative Text
If a tenant for a period of three months or longer neglect or refuse to pay rent when due, ten days' notice in writing to quit shall determine the lease, unless such rent be paid before the expiration of said ten days.
Under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501–58-2507, when a tenant who has rented for three months or more fails to pay rent when it is due, the landlord may serve a written ten-day notice to quit, which has the effect of terminating the lease at the end of that ten-day period. However, if the tenant pays all overdue rent before those ten days expire, the notice loses its force and the lease continues. This rule establishes both the landlord's right to end the tenancy for nonpayment and the tenant's opportunity to cure the default within the notice window.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501–58-2507, compliant operators who have a tenant in place for three months or more and who has not paid rent when due generally serve a written ten-day notice to quit that clearly states the basis for termination. Operators typically document the date of delivery and retain a copy of the notice, since the written form is a requirement of the statute. If the tenant tenders the full overdue rent before the ten days run out, operators generally accept that payment, as doing so preserves the tenancy under the provision's cure mechanism.

Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501–58-2507 gives tenants who have rented for three months or more a ten-day window after receiving a written notice to quit in which they can pay any overdue rent and thereby stop the lease from being terminated. Tenants who receive such a notice may want to review whether the notice was properly delivered in writing and whether the rent claimed was actually past due, since defects in the notice or the underlying claim can be relevant to any subsequent proceedings. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid offices familiar with Kansas landlord-tenant law can help tenants understand their options, including whether raising a defense in an eviction proceeding may be appropriate.
