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.

Forms easy to download but experienced problems trying to type in my information into the forms. Then when I went to print a form, Adobe wanted to charge me for printing. I ended up printing the blank forms and then filling them out manually.

I found the documents I needed and so many more that I will utilize for business, personal and family needs. Also I made a purchase of an additional document I did not need that serves the same purpose as one I purchased and Deeds.com had no issue refunding the unnecessary document in an unbelievably quick response and refund. I would recommend this document provider to everyone including legal office management.

This is the first time that I have used this service. An employee at the Clerk and Register office in Arizona suggested that I try Deeds.com to find the form I needed and the county office could not provide. I am a licensed Realtor in Colorado with a 43-year career and this service has not been necessary in my own state but it was extremely helpful in finding a form in Arizona. Five star rating for the very user-friendly website!

I was excited because I really wanted to see and get a copy of the Deed to my property. The personal/Staff responsible for setting up that plan did an excellent/outstanding job. Thanks so much and keep up the great work. Carrie
