Kansas HB2691 mandates cause for evictions from residential property and modifies petition and notice requirements.

Kansas HB2691 revises the legal framework for evictions from residential properties, requiring a cause for evictions and modifying the petition and notice requirements. It specifies that evictions can only occur if the tenant has made entry without right or title, holds over after the rental agreement expires, has not paid rent, materially violated the rental agreement, engaged in disruptive conduct, or negligently damaged the property. The bill also mandates that a summons in residential eviction cases must include a copy of the petition, instructions for responding, and a blank answer form.
