How many days' notice must a landlord give before raising rent in Kansas?

No rent-increase statute — notice derives from tenancy-termination rules (see summary).

Does Kansas have rent control?

No — Kansas has no statewide rent control or stabilization. No statewide rent control exists, and every Kansas county, city and township is expressly barred from adopting any ordinance that would control rent on privately owned residential or commercial property.

Can a landlord raise the rent during a fixed-term lease in Kansas?

Rent cannot change during a fixed term unless the lease itself provides for it. That is a contract principle rather than a statute: no section of the Kansas Residential Landlord and Tenant Act addresses mid-term or renewal increases.

How much notice is required to raise the rent in Kansas?

No Kansas statute requires advance notice of a rent increase for a home rented under the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act — the 30-day figure quoted for month-to-month tenancies is derived from K.S.A. 58-2570(b), which lets either party end a month-to-month tenancy by written notice effective on a rent-paying date at least 30 days after the other side receives it, so a landlord proposing higher rent is effectively offering new terms the tenant can decline by leaving.

Two derivation details matter: the 30 days run from receipt of the notice, not mailing, and the change lands on a periodic rent-paying date. There is no cap on the size or frequency of increases: Kansas has no rent control, and K.S.A. 12-16,120 expressly forbids every city, county and township from adopting any ordinance controlling rent on privately owned residential or commercial property — Kansas cities' constitutional home-rule power does not get around that uniform statute. One guardrail exists: under K.S.A. 58-2572 a landlord may not raise rent in retaliation for a tenant's code complaint, complaint about the landlord's statutory duties, or tenant-union membership, though a good-faith increase that covers the landlord's higher costs from acts of God, utility rate increases, property tax increases or other operating costs, and does not conflict with a lease in effect, is allowed even then. A mobile home park tenant who rents only the space is covered by a separate act, which requires written notice of any rent increase at least 60 days before it takes effect, and the increase cannot take effect before the rental agreement or its renewal or extension expires (K.S.A. 58-25,109(f)).

Kansas rent increase notice at a glance

Notice — month-to-month	No rent-increase statute — notice derives from tenancy-termination rules (see summary)
Varies by increase size	Not addressed by statute
Fixed-term leases	Rent cannot change during a fixed term unless the lease itself provides for it. That is a contract principle rather than a statute: no section of the Kansas Residential Landlord and Tenant Act addresses mid-term or renewal increases. K.S.A. 58-2570(b) adds that a rental agreement for a definite term of more than 30 days is not construed as month-to-month even if rent is payable at 30-day intervals.
Statewide rent control / stabilization	No
Rent control details	No statewide rent control exists, and every Kansas county, city and township is expressly barred from adopting any ordinance that would control rent on privately owned residential or commercial property. K.S.A. 12-16,120 (enacted 2001, amended 2016) expressly bars every political subdivision — county, municipality or township — from enacting, maintaining or enforcing any ordinance or resolution that would have the effect of controlling the amount of rent charged for privately owned residential or commercial property. Carve-outs: property the political subdivision owns, and voluntary agreements in exchange for local grants or incentives. Subsection (d) also forbids attaching rent-control conditions to building permits, plats, zoning changes, or conditional use permits.
Local rent regulation	Kansas law bars cities, counties, and other political subdivisions from controlling rents on privately owned residential or commercial property, with exceptions for government-owned property and voluntary incentive agreements.
Frequency limits	Not addressed by statute

Notes and caveats

The 30-day figure is a derivation, not a rent-increase statute — The month-to-month notice figure is left empty on the same derivation logic used for Texas, Georgia and the Carolinas: K.S.A. 58-2570(b) addresses only termination of a month-to-month tenancy and never mentions rent increases, so page copy should present 30 days as the derivation it is — with the receipt-based clock and the rent-paying-date landing spot, both of which most guides omit. Week-to-week tenancies take 7 days under 58-2570(a).
Preemption is express and statutory — K.S.A. 12-16,120 (L. 2001, ch. 134, § 2; amended L. 2016, ch. 104, § 4) covers residential AND commercial property, rent AND purchase price, and even bars rent-control conditions on zoning and permit approvals.
Home rule does not get around it — Kan. Const. art. 12, § 5 gives cities constitutional home rule, but the charter-ordinance opt-out reaches only non-uniform state laws — and 12-16,120 applies uniformly to all political subdivisions, so localities cannot charter out.
2026 legislative climate — A 2026 law, passed over the Governor's veto on April 10, 2026 and in force since July 1, 2026, bars cities and counties from requiring landlords to lease to a person whose rent comes from the housing choice voucher program or another voluntary housing assistance program, from restricting how a landlord uses credit scores, credit reports, eviction history, property damage history or criminal history in screening, from limiting the amount of a security deposit, and from requiring an automatic right of first refusal for tenants. It contains no rent provision and does not affect rent-increase notice. No 2025-2026 bill proposed rent control or a rent-increase notice period. The biennium adjourned sine die on April 10, 2026.

How this record was verified: Direct read of statute text on the official Kansas Office of Revisor of Statutes site (ksrevisor.gov), each section carrying a figure on this page read twice independently, with all figures reconciled verbatim: 58-2550 (1-month/1.5-month/half-month pet caps, 14-day and 30-day return clocks, 1.5x penalty), 58-2548 (5-day joint inventory), 58-2557 (reasonable notice/reasonable hours entry), 58-2570 (7-day/30-day/15-day termination notices), 58-2565(b) (30-day absence entry, 10-day abandonment presumption), 58-2564(b) (3-day nonpayment cure), 58-2563 (1.5 months' rent ouster remedy), and 12-16,120 (express local rent-control preemption). Negative checks run against the full Residential Landlord and Tenant Act: all 34 sections (58-2540 through 58-2573) downloaded and searched — no late-fee, grace-period, deposit-interest, escrow/separate-account, or rent-increase-notice provision exists. Pending-bill check 2026-07-11 on kslegislature.gov: 2025-26 biennium adjourned sine die 2026-04-10; HB 2666 (late-fee restrictions), SB 482 (condemned-unit deposit return), and HB 2768 (split rent payments) all died in committee; enacted Sub HB 2357 (eviction expungement) and SB 391 (voucher-mandate preemption) do not affect these four topics. Sight-confirmed 2026-07-12 on each bill's official history page (kslegislature.org/li/b2025_26/measures/): all three show 'Died in Committee' 2026-04-10 as the final entry. On October 1, 2026 every section the security deposit, rent increase, late fee, entry and eviction answers rest on was read again on the Kansas Legislature's site (kslegislature.gov), which serves the Revisor of Statutes' text with each section's history line and carries the 2025 session: the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (K.S.A. 58-2540 to 58-2573), the Mobile Home Parks Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (58-25,100 to 58-25,126), K.S.A. 12-16,120, chapter 61, articles 28 to 39, and K.S.A. 60-206. The 2026 session laws (chapters 56, 132 and 152, in force July 1, 2026 and not yet numbered into the statutes) were read on the Secretary of State's site.
