KS SB100

Consumer reporting agencies prohibited from including eviction records or rental arrears information in reports if the events occurred more than three years prior

Before reporting adverse residential or tenant history, consumer reporting agencies must contact consumers via mail, phone, and email to offer an opportunity to provide an explanation, which must then be included in the report

Landlords prohibited from considering eviction or rental arrears history older than three years when deciding whether to rent to applicants or when taking adverse action against tenants, regardless of the information source

Landlords must provide tenants or applicants with copies of any consumer reports or tenant history information used when denying rental applications, canceling agreements, or altering terms adversely

Violations by landlords or consumer reporting agencies constitute deceptive practices under the Kansas Consumer Protection Act, subject to all enforcement provisions and penalties of that act
