Kan. Stat. Ann. § 58-2568
Upon termination of the rental agreement, the landlord may have a claim and file an action for possession or for rent or both. The landlord also may have a separate claim for actual damages for breach of the rental agreement and may file an action for such damages prior to the termination date of the rental agreement.

Plain English

Under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501 through 58-2568, when a rental agreement ends, a landlord is permitted to pursue legal claims for regaining possession of the property, recovering unpaid rent, or both simultaneously. Separately, the landlord may also seek actual monetary damages for any breach of the rental agreement. Notably, a damages claim can be filed even before the rental agreement's official termination date, meaning litigation does not have to wait until the tenancy formally concludes.

For Property Managers

Under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501 through 58-2568, compliant operators generally document all lease terms, payment records, and any breaches throughout the tenancy so that claims for possession, rent, and actual damages are well-supported if litigation becomes necessary. Because the statute allows a damages action to be filed before the termination date, property managers typically maintain contemporaneous records of losses as they accrue. Consulting a licensed Kansas attorney familiar with landlord-tenant law helps ensure that any action filed aligns with the procedural requirements of this provision.

For Tenants

Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501 through 58-2568 outlines the legal remedies available to a landlord upon termination of a rental agreement, including claims for possession, rent, and actual damages — and those damages claims can be initiated before the lease formally ends. Tenants who receive notice of such a legal action have the right to respond in court and may raise applicable defenses, such as the landlord's failure to meet their own obligations under the rental agreement. Reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office in Kansas can help tenants understand what options may be available when facing these types of claims.
