KRS 383.670: Remedies for absence, nonuse and abandonment.

(1) If the rental agreement requires the tenant to give notice to the landlord of an

anticipated extended absence in excess of seven (7) days as required in KRS

383.620 and the tenant willfully fails to do so, the landlord may recover actual

damages from the tenant.

(2) During any absence of the tenant in excess of seven (7) days, the landlord may enter

the dwelling unit at times reasonably necessary.

(3) If the tenant abandons the dwelling unit, the landlord shall make reasonable efforts

to rent it at a fair rental. If the landlord rents the dwelling unit for a term beginning

before the expiration of the rental agreement, it terminates as of the date of the new

tenancy. If the landlord fails to use reasonable efforts to rent the dwelling unit at a

fair rental or if the landlord accepts the abandonment as a surrender, the rental

agreement is deemed to be terminated by the landlord as of the date the landlord has

notice of the abandonment. If the tenancy is from month-to-month or week-to-week,

the term of the rental agreement for this purpose is deemed to be a month or a week,

as the case may be.
