State Specific Question About: KANSAS (KS)

I mailed a 3 day notice on the 2nd or 3rd of Oct. I put in it that we were giving notice to change the filters. Stopped by today to change filters and the house is almost cleaned out. 1 tv, washer-dryer, bissel a few items, they have not told me they are moving and have not paid their rent for Oct. I know the abandonment law for KS

however since I served a 3 day notice .......

Question: can I change the locks myself and proceed with storing the stuff. or do I have to get a court order and use a process server if I'm going with the eviction and not the abandonment? I would rather move on quickly than wait the time of abandonment is what I'm getting at. --68.28.xx.xxx

I would call the power company and see if they had power taken out of their name. If yes, that is a pretty good indicator they have officially moved.

My attorney told me once I have a right to protect my property (change locks) if there is some evidence the house has been adondoned. --76.18.xxx.xxx

Our judge says "utils shut off = abandoned".

I post a 24 hour notice on the door

"This property appears abandoned. Items remaining will be disposed. If this is incorrect, call __ immediately."

Take a pic of it on the door.

Our judge appreciates our businesslike approach.
