This is the second hearing on the Kansas City Tenant Bill of Rights. The first draft prohibited screening for felonies/evictions "unless the landlord can demonstrate the rental decision was based on all information available including consideration of the frequency, recentness, and severity of a criminal record." Talk about vague!
It's important we are there to make our concerns heard. There are bad landlords and tenants need some protection. But property owners also need reasonable laws that allow us to protect ourselves, our businesses, our employees, our contractors and our other residents. Not being able to screen for felonies (or being severely hampered in doing so) would, among other things, put other residents at serious risk in certain situations.
Here's the Facebook Event Page. Please be there to make sure your voice is heard!
You can also send emails to the committee members (found here). Please be respectful and pithy in your messages.
