Kansas Room Rental Agreement

A Kansas Room Rental Agreement is a legal document that outlines the responsibilities and rights of tenants who share a common living space. It includes crucial information about the property, the specific room for rent, the distribution of utilities, and various financial matters. This agreement aims to create a win-win situation for all parties involved, per state laws.

Access to the Room 

  • A landlord is legally allowed to access the property you’re renting.
  • Typically, the owner should provide reasonable notice (usually 24 hours) before entering, and visits should be scheduled during appropriate hours of the day.
  • If a landlord enters without notice and there’s no emergency, you have the right to request in writing that they adhere to the notice requirement in the future.
  • In emergencies, the owner can enter the property without prior notice.
  • Keep contact information updated, especially if you’re not usually home during the day.
  • The owner may need to enter the property for maintenance or pest control. 

Guest & Pets Policy 

When drafting a tenant guest policy for a Kansas Room Rental Agreement, consider the following key points:

  • Determine the maximum number of residents allowed in the space.
  • Define the types of guests permitted (e.g., only friends or relatives of existing tenants may occupy the space without your consent, prohibiting strangers such as subletters or Airbnb guests).
  • Set a limit on the number of visitors allowed in the space at any given time.
  • Specify the maximum number of nights a guest can stay on the property within a certain period.
  • Indicate the maximum number of consecutive nights a person can stay.
  • Decide how to manage guests who exceed the allotted stay.
  • Establish a threshold for when a guest overstays their welcome. For instance, most landlords allow guests to stay no more than 10-14 days in six (6) months. Beyond this, decide if a guest staying 15 days or more extended warrants eviction for lease violation or if you prefer to amend your lease, potentially increasing the rent.
  • When a tenant is a pet owner, they should know that the landlord may require a pet fee. Regardless of the structure, this fee is typically held in an account to cover any potential repairs needed due to pet-related damage in the unit. 
  • If a pet fee is applicable, all the specifics must be clearly outlined in the Kansas Room Rental Agreement for the tenant’s reference. 

Security Deposit Regulations 

  • Kansas’s maximum security deposit for unfurnished properties is capped at one (1) month’s rent.
  • For furnished properties, the security deposit can go up to 1.5 times the monthly rent.
  • After the termination of the lease, the landlord has a 30-day window to return any unused portion of the deposit.
  • If deductions are made from the deposit, the landlord has 14 days to return the remaining amount, provided this period ends before the 30-day window.
  • In situations involving multiple tenants or “co-tenants,” the deposit is divided equally among them.
