A Kansas 14-Day Notice to Quit (Non-Compliance) is a legal notice detailing a breach of the lease agreement by a tenant, causing harm to the health and safety of others. It notifies the tenant that the lease agreement will terminate in no less than 30 days unless the breach is remedied within 14 days of receipt of a notice. If the damages can be fixed via a payment, this notice allows the landlord to enter an amount. After 14 days the landlord has the right to inspect the premises to ensure the breach has been fixed.
