KS SB466

Consumer reporting agencies prohibited from including eviction records or rental arrears older than three years in consumer reports used for housing decisions

Consumer reporting agencies must contact consumers by mail, phone, and email before issuing reports with adverse rental history, giving consumers 15 business days to provide an explanation that must be included in the report

Landlords prohibited from using rental history older than three years or consumer reports lacking tenant explanations when making rental decisions; must provide tenants with any reports used for adverse actions

Court records for eviction proceedings automatically sealed upon filing, with permanent sealing three years after judgment for possession in landlord's favor

Violations by landlords or consumer reporting agencies constitute deceptive practices under the Kansas Consumer Protection Act, subject to enforcement under that statute
