Kansas eviction at a glance
| Court | District court in the county (limited actions) |
|---|
Kansas evictions are heard in the district court in the county (limited actions). Before filing for unpaid rent, the landlord must give the notice required by K.S.A. §58-2564.
Step by step
- Notice for unpaid rent. A written notice giving 3 consecutive 24-hour periods to pay (2 more days if mailed) before the tenancy can be terminated. (K.S.A. §58-2564)
- File in court. If the tenant doesn't pay or move out, file the eviction case in the district court in the county (limited actions). Ask the clerk for current filing and service fees. (Kansas Judicial Branch)
- Hearing, judgment and removal. After the tenant is served, the court sets a hearing. If the landlord wins, removal happens only through the court's order or writ, carried out by a law enforcement officer. Exact timelines are in the court's self-help materials. (Kansas Judicial Branch)
