Frequently Asked Questions
Who needs a Lease Agreement in Kansas?
Anyone who rents real estate needs a Lease Agreement. This is true whether you rent a single-family home, apartment, duplex, or condo. The Lease is the document that outlines all terms of the rental relationship. It also protects the Landlord, or lessor, and Tenant, or lessee, should there be any disputes.
While a basic Lease form or generic, fillable Lease is better than nothing, it can leave Landlords without the complete protection that they need. A simple state agreement, like the one offered by the Kansas Association of Realtors, is better but can still leave Landlords unprotected.
To make sure that you and your Rental Unit are protected, it’s vital to have a thorough state-specific Lease Agreement in place before handing over possession of the property.
How long can a residential Lease be in Kansas?
The standard Lease term in Kansas is one year (12 months). However, shorter and longer Lease terms are recognized as long as they’re clearly stated in the Lease Agreement. To help meet every Landlord’s need, we offer a Vacation Rental Agreement, Month-to-Month Lease Agreement, and short-term Lease Agreement.
Does a Lease Agreement have to be signed to be legally binding?
Yes, the Lease Agreement needs to be signed by both the Landlord and Tenant to be legally binding. It does not need to be notarized to be considered legal and binding. That said, it can be notarized if the parties want to do so.
How should I store my Kansas Rental Contract?
It’s important that you securely store signed Lease Agreements and that they’re accessible to refer back to as needed. There are lots of options when it comes to storing your Leases. Our Kansas Residential Lease Agreement is automatically stored securely on the cloud once it’s signed. Landlords can access it there via ezCloudStorage.
In addition, our Leases are EZ to print or download as a PDF. There are plenty of options to meet every Landlord’s needs.
