Tenant won't move out in Kentucky
Kentucky landlord guide to validating tenancy termination, local URLTA effects, continued possession, and the District Court forcible-detainer stage.
Start with why the tenancy should already be over.
Establish whether URLTA applies locally before relying on URLTA termination rules.
Verify the termination actually occurred and the tenant still possesses the property.
Use Kentucky's District Court forcible-detainer process instead of self-help removal.
Why this matters
Kentucky forcible detainer includes a tenant refusing possession after the term expires or after a tenancy at will/by sufferance is determined. The workflow establishes the possession basis instead of asking the landlord to make that legal conclusion.
Legal authority: KRS 383.200-.285; KRS 383.695 where URLTA applies
What the tool verifies
- Property county/city and URLTA applicability.
- Lease expiration or completed termination notice.
- Whether the tenant remains in possession.
- Any later agreement or continued occupancy consent.
What happens next
When the tenancy has ended and the tenant remains, the tool directs the landlord to Kentucky Court of Justice forms and the District Court stage rather than inventing a proprietary court pleading.
