What can a landlord do with property a tenant leaves behind in Kansas?

Abandonment may be assumed after 10 days' nonpayment if the tenant has removed a substantial part of their belongings. Property left behind may be stored at the tenant's expense and sold or disposed of 30 days after the landlord takes it. At least 15 days before, the landlord must publish newspaper notice and mail a copy to the tenant within 7 days of publication.
