Kansas Petition for Eviction and Past Due Rent is a legal document that is used to start the eviction process and collect any past due rent from tenants in the state of Kansas. The Petition is brought by a landlord or property manager against a tenant who has failed to pay rent or otherwise violated the terms of their lease. The Petition must be served on the tenant, who must then appear in court to respond to the allegations. Depending on the court's ruling, the tenant may be evicted or be required to pay all past due rent and other damages. The two main types of Kansas Petition for Eviction and Past Due Rent are Nonpayment of Rent and Breach of Lease. Nonpayment of Rent is used when a tenant has not paid rent for a certain period of time and the landlord is seeking to evict them for failure to pay. Breach of Lease is used when a tenant has violated the terms of their lease in some way, such as failing to keep the property in good repair or exceeding the number of occupants allowed in the rental unit.
