A Kansas Memorandum of Lease is a document recorded to provide notice of a lease agreement's existence. According to Kansas Statute 58-2221, it can convey an estate or interest created by an oil and gas lease, or any lease or easement involving wind resources for electricity generation. It must be recorded with the Register of Deeds in the county where the property is situated and must include the full names and addresses of the parties involved. The register is responsible for immediate recording and checking for errors against previous transfer records.

The statutes 58-2501 to 58-2510 in Kansas law collectively establish the legal framework for lease agreements and their termination. They dictate the terms under which leases can exist (58-2501), including the rights tenants have concerning property improvements (58-2501a), define annual tenancies (58-2502), set out how and when rent is to be paid (58-2503), and provide procedures for terminating leases, whether at will (58-2504), yearly (58-2505), or for farm or pastureland (58-2506, 58-2506a). Additionally, they specify the notice requirements for ending leases of different durations (58-2507, 58-2508), circumstances where no notice is needed (58-2509), and how such notices should be served (58-2510). Each statute impacts the enforceability and execution of a Memorandum of Lease by clarifying the rights and obligations of the parties involved throughout the lease's duration and upon its termination.

LOVE THIS!! I am a REALTORand from time to time I have had to take documents for filing. I'm so glad I invested some time online researching eFiling services. The first few search results that populated required an expensive annual or monthly subscription. Luckily I continued to scroll and found Deeds.com. No annual or monthly subscription required. Just pay per use. I uploaded a ROL late one night and Deed.com had it eFiled the very next morning!!! They keep you updated throughout the process via email notifications which you click on the link provided in the email that directs you to your online portal to view the status and once your documents have been filed you can immediately download the filed of record documents including the receipt from the county in which the documents were filed. SO SIMPLE, CONVENIENT, & QUICK-THANK YOU DEEDS.com!!!

The form was very easy to use and the sample tool you had was very helpful. the only problem i had was saving the document and then trying to find it later. I finally was able to figure out how to save it. but i still cannot find the saved document on my computer. Luckily i printed it before i closed it and did not need to make any changes.

I was skeptical when I first came upon this website. Not sure why I had such a negative feeling, but after I received the printed deed I felt relieved and completely satisfied. This is a great website for everyone who wouldn't want to retrieve their deed in person and worth the reasonable fee.
