Can I terminate my lease if I just signed it less than a week ago?
Full Question:
Answer:
When a lease is terminated early, the lease terms on early termination will govern. If a tenant terminates the lease early, the tenant may still be liable for rent owed under the terms of the lease.
The following are Kansas statutes:
58-2502. Tenants from year to year.
When premises are let for one or more years, and the tenant with the
assent of the landlord continues to occupy the premises after the
expiration of the term, such tenant shall be deemed to be a tenant from
year to year.
58-2505. Termination of tenancy from year-to-year; notice.
All tenancies from year to year, other than farm tenancies from
year-to-year, may be terminated by at least thirty days' notice in writing,
given to the tenant prior to the expiration of the year.
58-2509. Notice to quit not necessary, when.
Where the time for the termination of a tenancy is specified in the
contract, or where a tenant at will commits waste, or in the case of a
tenant by sufferance, and in any case where the relation of landlord and
tenant does not exist, no notice to quit shall be necessary.
58-2568. Landlord's remedies upon termination of rental agreement.
Upon termination of the rental agreement, the landlord may have a claim
and file an action for possession or for rent or both. The landlord also
may have a separate claim for actual damages for breach of the rental
agreement and may file an action for such damages prior to the termination
date of the rental agreement.
