Bill Summary
AN ACT concerning private rental housing; prohibiting cities and counties from adopting or enforcing any ordinance or resolution that requires landlords to lease housing to tenants receiving financial assistance from or through the housing choice voucher program or any other housing assistance program or that otherwise restricts a landlord's ability to consider the income source of a prospective tenant.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits cities and counties in Kansas from enacting or enforcing any local laws that would force landlords to rent to tenants who use financial assistance, such as through the Housing Choice Voucher program (a federal program that helps low-income families afford housing), or any other voluntary housing assistance program. It also prevents these local governments from restricting a landlord's ability to consider a prospective tenant's income source, credit history, eviction records, or property damage history when deciding whether to rent to them, as long as the landlord applies these criteria consistently. Any existing local ordinances that violate these provisions and were in place before July 1, 2026, will be invalidated.
