Kan. Stat. Ann. § 58-2518
A person entitled to rents dependent on the life of another may recover arrears unpaid at the death of that other.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501 through 58-2518, when rent is structured so that the obligation is tied to the life of a specific person, the right to collect that rent does not simply vanish when that person dies. Any rent that had already come due but remained unpaid at the time of that person's death can still be pursued and recovered by the party entitled to receive it. This provision ensures that the death of the measuring life does not extinguish pre-existing rent arrears.

For Property Managers

Under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501 through 58-2518, operators who hold rent interests tied to the life of another person generally maintain records of all amounts that have accrued and remain unpaid throughout the tenancy. When the measuring life ends, a compliant operator understands that any arrears already owed before that death remain collectible and do not disappear simply because the life tenancy has concluded. Keeping thorough documentation of payment history is a practice commonly associated with successfully pursuing such claims against an estate or other responsible party.

For Tenants

Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501 through 58-2518 establishes that tenants or their estates may remain responsible for rent that was already past due at the time the measuring life ended, even if the overall rental arrangement was structured around that person's life. Tenants involved in life-dependent rent arrangements may want to understand what obligations survive the death of the relevant individual, as unpaid arrears can still be pursued. Consulting a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service familiar with Kansas landlord-tenant law can help clarify what amounts, if any, remain legitimately owed under such an arrangement.
