Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Kansas

We had problems with our landlords daughter and her boyfriend just walking into our house without notice. I mentioned that they cannot do this anymore and we have told them numerous times to just let us know before they come over. When I told them there is a law saying they can't just walk into our house unannounced, we received a text from the landlord kicking us out. Is there anything I can do?

Complaining about interruptions in your peaceful use of the premises, I snot in itself grounds to terminate a lease early. If you are a month to month renter or your written lease has ended, there are few prohibitions on a landlord ending a short term lease. However, if the daughter is an adult, then it may be improper to hold the landlord responsible for their actions. If you told the landlord to keep his daughter out of your place, then you may have been making demands that the landlord has no legal obligation to perform. If you have a written lease agreement, a text message is probably not sufficient eviction notification of a notice to not renew the lease. It is not grounds for expulsion for failing to contest an eviction notice. You may need to consult directly with a civil practice attorney in your area.

Good luck
