attachment, Tenant shall be considered in breach of this
Lease (breach by one tenant shall be considered breach by
all tenants where Tenant is more than one person).
As per Kansas Statut es § 58 -2564:
If there is a material noncompliance by the tenant with the
Lease Agreement or a noncompliance with K.S. § 58 -2555

that the Lease agreement will terminate upon a date not less
than 30 days after receipt of the notice, if the breach is not
remedied in 14 d ays.
The Lease agreement shall terminate as provided in the
notice, except that if the breach is remediable by repairs or
the payment of damages or otherwise, and the tenant
adequately initiates a good faith effort to remedy the breach
prior to the date specified in the notice, the Lease agreement
will not terminate. However, in the event that such breach or
a similar breach occurs after the 14 -day period provided in
this subsection, the landlord may deliver a written notice to

agreement terminated.

Landlord’s termination of this Lease, the entire remaining
balance of unpaid rent for the remaining term of this Lease

THIS IS A SEPARATE INSTRUCTION PAGE REGARDING LEAD -BASED PAINT DISCLOSURE
THIS PAGE IS NOT PART OF THE LEASE. IT IS PROVIDED BY USLF TO AID THE
LANDLORD IN COMPLYING WITH FEDERAL LEAD -BASED PAINT DISCLOSURE
LAW, FOR DWELLING UNITS BUILT PRIOR TO 1978.
IM PORTANT!!! NOTES CONCERNING LEAD -PAINT DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
Introduction: If the rental dwelling unit was constructed PRIOR TO 1978, federal law REQUIRES a Lead -
Based Paint Disclosure Form to be attached to the lease, completed and signed by the less or/landlord and
lessee/tenant. If the rental dwelling was constructed in 1978 or later, this form is not required. If in doubt about
the timing of construction, use the disclosure form. Whenever the form is used, the landlord must also give the
tenant the EPA lead -based paint pamphlet discussed below. Landlords must retain a copy of the signed
disclosure form for no less than three years from the date the lease begins.
Background: To protect families from exposure to lead from paint, dust, and soil, Congre ss passed the
Residential Lead -Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992. HUD and EPA require the disclosure of known
information on lead -based paint and related hazards before the lease of most housing built before 1978.
Requirements: Before the lease is signed and agreed to, landlords must fully comply with lead -paint disclosure
law. Compliance is accomplished by:
(1) Fully completing and delivering to the tenants, as an attachment to the lease, the LEAD -BASED PAINT
DISCLOSURE form (the lessees/renters also initial and sign this form), and
(2) Giving the tenants the EPA pamphlet entitled "Protect Your Family From L ead In Your Home." (See the
download link for the pamphlet, below.)
Purchase the Disclosure Form: If you need to purchase a Lead -Based Paint Disclosure Form, you can easily
do so using USLF. http://www.uslegalforms.com/lead -paint -disclosure -forms.htm Click this link (or copy it into
