A Kansas standard residential lease agreement is a contract between a landlord and tenant that sets forth terms and conditions for the leasing of residential property. Tenants must abide by all lease terms including the monthly rental amount, due date, and the accepted method(s) of payment. All conditions defined in the agreement will be effective for a fixed term that typically lasts one (1) year but may be modified depending on the circumstance. During the contract term, neither the tenant nor landlord may alter the lease provisions unless the changes are agreed upon in writing.
