I live in Kansas and was evicted from my home. My landlord says I have to clean the yard before she will allow me to remove my personal items from within the home. Can she do that?
In Kansas, your landlord must allow you to retrieve your personal belongings, even after eviction.
- They cannot condition this right on cleaning or any other requirement.
- If they prevent you from obtaining your items, it's considered "illegal eviction."

Please consult a local attorney for detailed advice.
What do I do if she refuses me entry to get my belongings until the yard is cleaned?
In Kansas:
- You may contact law enforcement for assistance with retrieving your belongings.
- Consider taking legal action for illegal eviction.
- Consult an attorney for specific advice on how to proceed.
