A Kansas lease agreement is a legal document that binds a landlord and tenant over the use of a property for residential or commercial use. The agreement will usually have a beginning and end date with the terms for how much the tenant is to pay on a monthly basis to the landlord. After the document has been signed by all parties, they both will be legally bound to perform and cannot terminate the agreement without consent from one another.
