Overview

This Fixed Term Residential Lease Agreement is designed for landlords leasing a house or apartment in Kansas to a tenant. It ensures that both parties have a clear understanding of their rights and responsibilities throughout the lease period.

Importance of a Written Lease

Landlords are strongly encouraged to provide tenants with a written lease. Having a signed lease document helps clarify the rights and duties of both the landlord and tenant, reducing the possibility of misunderstandings.

Lease Term and Renewal

The lease agreement is set for a fixed term, typically one year. At the end of this term, if the tenant remains in the property, the tenancy automatically converts to a month-to-month arrangement, unless a new lease is signed.
