Providing that under rental agreements governed by the residential landlord tenant act, a landlord is required to accept partial payments and to count certain income when considering a tenant or prospective tenant's qualifications for housing.

HB 2454 requires landlords in Kansas to accept partial rent payments from tenants and consider all types of income (like wages, government benefits, or pensions) when evaluating rental applications, excluding federal housing assistance like Section 8. It prohibits landlords from refusing partial payments or unfairly disqualifying applicants based on income sources. Violations would be treated as deceptive practices under Kansas consumer protection law, allowing tenants to seek remedies through that enforcement system. The bill directly affects landlords and renters under the state's residential landlord-tenant law.
