Answer:
If your landlord accepted the late payment of rent without any limitations or objections, then such acceptance acts as a waiver of his right to terminate the rental agreement for late rental payment. You may have a look at the relevant statutory provision in this regard.K.S.A. § 58-2566:
“Acceptance of late payment of rent from the tenant without reservation by the landlord, or acceptance of performance by the tenant, other than for payment of rent, that varies from the terms of the rental agreement, constitutes a waiver of the landlord's right to terminate the rental agreement for that breach, unless otherwise agreed after the breach has occurred.”
