Bill Summary
AN ACT concerning the Kansas residential landlord tenant act; relating to building and housing codes; creating a default maintenance code to use for rental properties if a city or county has not adopted such a code; amending K.S.A. 58-2553 and repealing the existing section.
AI Summary
This bill requires landlords in Kansas to comply with a default maintenance code for rental properties if the city or county where the property is located has not adopted its own maintenance code. Specifically, if a local government has not established a maintenance code, landlords must adhere to the provisions of the International Property Maintenance Code, 2012 (IMPC 2012), unless those provisions conflict with any existing local code. This aims to ensure that rental properties meet minimum health and safety standards even in areas lacking local housing regulations, by amending and then repealing the existing Kansas Residential Landlord and Tenant Act section that deals with landlord maintenance obligations.
