The statewide rules we verified for Kentucky, last checked October 2026. Local ordinances can add to them.
Kentucky sets no cap on security deposits, and in cities and counties that adopted the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act landlords must keep deposits in a separate account and give at least 2 days' notice before entering.
In Kentucky localities that adopted the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, a landlord gives 7 days' written notice for unpaid rent, 14 days' notice for other material lease breaches, and 30 days' written notice to end a month-to-month tenancy.
Kentucky requires a signed written will witnessed by two credible witnesses, unless the will is wholly written in the testator's own handwriting, and a will can be made self-proved with a notarized acknowledgment and witness affidavits.
Kentucky follows the Uniform Power of Attorney Act, so a power of attorney must be signed by the principal and notarization is not required for validity, but a notarized signature is presumed genuine.
Kentucky's living will directive must be in writing, dated and signed, and either witnessed by two adults or acknowledged before a notary public.
In Kentucky the seller and buyer signatures on the title assignment (or on Form TC 96-182 for older titles) must be notarized, and a separate bill of sale is generally only needed in situations such as out-of-state titles.
A Kentucky quitclaim deed is recorded on acknowledgment before a notary or county clerk (or proof by subscribing witnesses), and the county clerk collects a real estate transfer tax of 50 cents per $500 of value.
