Plain English

Kentucky Revised Statutes § 383.140 was formally repealed in 1974 and no longer carries any legal force. The provision once addressed the termination of tenancies at will or by sufferance, but that catchline and its associated rules were eliminated when the Kentucky General Assembly passed 1974 Ky. Acts ch. 378. Any matters previously governed by this section are now addressed, if at all, by other provisions of Kentucky law enacted after its repeal.

Plain English — not legal advice.

For Property Managers

Because Ky. Rev. Stat. § 383.140 was repealed effective August 1, 1974, property owners and managers cannot rely on it as authority for terminating a tenancy at will or by sufferance. Compliant operators look instead to the current Kentucky statutes and any applicable local ordinances that replaced the framework once covered by this section. Consulting the current Kentucky Residential Landlord and Tenant Act is the general starting point for understanding termination procedures under present law.

For Tenants

Ky. Rev. Stat. § 383.140 has been repealed since 1974 and does not create or eliminate any rights for tenants today. Tenants dealing with questions about tenancy-at-will or sufferance situations should look to the provisions of Kentucky law that are currently in effect, rather than this defunct section. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services in Kentucky can help identify which active statutes govern a particular type of tenancy arrangement.
