Answer:
No, there are a few situations when a notice to quit may not be required. When the time of the termination of the tenancy is already mentioned in the agreement, or when the tenant at will commits waste, notice to quit may not be required. Similarly, in the case of a tenant by sufferance, and where the relation of landlord and tenant do not exist, notice to quit may not be necessary. The relevant statutory provision in this regard is K.S.A. § 58-2509, which reads:“Where the time for the termination of a tenancy is specified in the contract, or where a tenant at will commits waste, or in the case of a tenant by sufferance, and in any case where the relation of landlord and tenant does not exist, no notice to quit shall be necessary.”
