Several landlords are having their tenants sign a document that says the inspector can't come in and turn that into the city in place of the inspection.  So far they were able to get their license/registration anyway.

Because that's what the proposed ordinance says in Kansas City Missouri. . . 

In Independence Missouri you have no choice, all rentals must be inspected with or without your consent or that of the tenant - or according to Independence city council evict the tenant if they will not let the government mandated inspector in the home - although you also actually have to hire the mandated inspector and pay them too in Independence.

Nathan, what is proposed right now seems just like a nuisance.  

But some points:

Included in this is the director of the program who can determine raising fees, the time frame for random inspections and more.

How this would be a 4th amendment issue is if the random inspection or other inspection from someone's complaint - not the tenants.  So the city wants in to do an inspection, this is a government person, NOT YOU THE LANDLORD, the tenant refuses to let them in, their right under the 4th amendment.  No inspection, you lose your rental license because of lack of inspection, and now you either operate your rental illegally or evict the tenant for refusing to let a government official in their house.

And this was shot down by the Kansas City Missouri City council for many of these unknown questions and because tenants and landlords have been suing cities across the country for similar laws and winning.  But there is an organization that got this put on the ballot for August 7th through a petition drive.

Billy, there is a state law in Kansas that says the city cannot force a tenant to be inspected.  They can have interior inspections, but if the tenant refuses to let the government inspector into their home, the city cannot withhold your rental license or force their way into the unit.  We have been attempting to get a similar law passed in MO and got it past the House in 2017 and 2018, but not through the Senate and into law. So in Overland Park, if your tenant refuses the inspection, the city cannot do it without a warrant.

And by the way, in Kansas City Missouri - you already have to register every rental and vacant property with the city or face a fine for failure to do so.  And at this time should a tenant ever have an issue with the interior of their rental home due to the landlord not fixing things, they can invite a city codes inspector in to inspect, - so why do we need a new ordinance.

Yes, and we need to be ready.  We should have a few people dealing with this issue at the Marriott meeting tonight.
