Kansas city new tenant bill
Just got this from my PM in Kansas City:
Over the last few weeks we have been watching the news regarding the newly proposed Tenant Bill of Rights. This started as a small grass roots movement that has quickly escalated and now has the support of Kansas City's new Mayor, Quinten Lucas, as well as the majority of the City Council.
If this proposal is allowed to continue as proposed you will no longer be able to take the following information into consideration when screening tenants.
- Source of Income
- No criminal background checks
- No credit checks
- Can not take previous eviction history into consideration
- Must work with Section 8, Housing Voucher Programs
In additional to these restrictions, we would also see the creation of a fourth city bureaucracy to oversee rental properties (in addition to codes department, Healthy Homes, and Human Relations/Fair Housing)
What do you guys think? Looks like the nice rental wave is over in Kansas City
