Requiring certain disclosures to be made to prospective tenants and providing restrictions on fees for the late payment of rent under the residential landlord and tenant act.

SB 369, if passed, would require Kansas landlords to provide specific written disclosures to prospective tenants before accepting any payment, including estimated rent, non-rent expenses (like utilities), unit availability dates, and tenant eligibility criteria (e.g., credit, criminal history). It also restricts late fees to no more than 5% of rent, prohibits increasing fees based on prior late payments, and mandates a minimum 5-day grace period for rent payments. Violations would release tenants from agreements without penalty and require landlords to refund all payments plus an equal penalty for disclosure breaches. This bill directly affects landlords and prospective tenants under Kansas' residential landlord-tenant law, aiming to increase transparency and limit unfair fees. The bill is currently pending committee review after introduction in January 2026.
