Kan. Stat. Ann. § 58-2508
If a tenant for a period of less than three months shall neglect or refuse to pay rent when due, three days' notice in writing to quit shall determine the same, unless such rent be paid before the expiration of said three days.

Plain English

Under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501–58-2508, when a tenant whose lease term is less than three months fails to pay rent when it comes due, the landlord may serve a written three-day notice to quit. If the tenant pays all overdue rent before those three days expire, the tenancy continues and the notice has no further effect. This provision sets out both the landlord's mechanism for initiating termination and the tenant's opportunity to cure the nonpayment.

For Property Managers

Operators managing short-term tenancies — those running less than three months — should be aware that Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501–58-2508 requires a written three-day notice to quit before a tenancy can be terminated for nonpayment of rent. A compliant operator delivers this notice in writing and allows the full three-day period to run, accepting any rent payment tendered within that window and treating the tenancy as continuing if payment is made. Maintaining clear records of when rent was due, when the notice was served, and whether payment was received within the cure period is a practice consistent with this statute.

For Tenants

Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501–58-2508 gives tenants in short-term tenancies (less than three months) a three-day window after receiving a written notice to quit in which they can pay overdue rent and preserve their tenancy. If a landlord attempts to terminate a tenancy without providing the required written notice, or does not honor a timely rent payment made within the three-day period, that may be raised as a defense in any eviction proceeding. Tenants who have questions about whether a notice was properly served or whether a payment was wrongly rejected may wish to consult a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office familiar with Kansas landlord-tenant law.
