Providing that under rental agreements governed by the residential landlord tenant act, a landlord is required to accept multiple payment amounts as long as rent is paid on time and in full and to count certain income when considering a tenant or prospective tenant's qualifications for housing.

HB 2768 requires Kansas landlords to accept multiple payment methods for rent as long as the full amount is paid on time, and to consider all types of income (including wages, government benefits, pensions, and child support) when evaluating tenant applications. Landlords who refuse multiple payments must refund the amount, and those who reject applicants for not considering all income must pay double the application fees. Violations can result in actual damages, punitive damages, and attorney fees for tenants. The law takes effect January 1, 2027, and applies to all residential rental agreements under Kansas' landlord-tenant law.
