2. After termination, a separate three-day notice to leave under K.S.A. 61-3803 before filing a forcible detainer action in the District Court of the county where the property is located.

Self-help evictions are prohibited. Landlords may not change locks, shut off utilities, remove property, or use any other extra-judicial means to regain possession., -
