Tenants may also request the security deposit be returned within 14 days. If landlords do not return the deposit before this time, then they may be required to pay up to 1.5 times the amount.<\/li>\n<li><b>Rent \u2013<\/b> Kansas has no legal maximum for what a landlord may charge for rent. There is also no limit on the amount a landlord may raise the rent, but they must provide at least 30 days\u2019 notice. Kansas does not limit how much a landlord may charge as a late fee.<\/li>\n<li><b>Notice for Entry \u2013<\/b> Kansas requires the landlord to provide notice before entering the rental property, although the exact amount of time is not specified.<\/li>\n<li><b>Making Repairs \u2013<\/b> It is the landlord\u2019s responsibility to keep the rental in safe and healthy living conditions. If the landlord fails to do so, the tenant may deliver them a written notice of what needs to be repaired or replaced. The landlord must make the repairs within a reasonable timeframe, though the exact time is not specified by law.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.turbotenant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/02-housing-code-neighbors-tenants-1-1024x462-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"462\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Kansas Landlords&#8217; Rights and Tenant Responsibilities<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Tenants must keep the property in <strong>safe and habitable<\/strong> conditions<\/li>\n<li>Must notify landlord <strong>30 days<\/strong> before terminating a lease<\/li>\n<li><strong>No limit<\/strong> for late fees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Rental Application Fees<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There are no additional rental application fee laws in Kansas.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Criminal Background Check<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>HUD (Federal) laws do not classify criminal backgrounds as a protected class, but making a decision to rent based on a criminal background alone could lead to a discrimination charge as it impacts certain protected groups of people disproportionately.\n<ul>\n<li>However, if the criminal background check revealed a crime for the manufacture and distribution of drugs, homicide and\/or stalking, denying the application is allowed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Landlords should have a consistent and equal policy or procedure in place to follow regarding criminal background checks so as not to discriminate against one class of people over another.<\/li>\n<li>HUD states that a landlord cannot ask about arrest records, only convictions, as innocent people are commonly arrested though the situation may not have resulted in a conviction.<\/li>\n<li>Some municipalities may have written their own laws expanding onto what you can and cannot ask regarding criminal backgrounds during the tenant screening process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Security Deposits<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Landlords can collect up to one month\u2019s rent as the security deposit for unfurnished units and 1.5 month\u2019s rent for a furnished unit.
