Making certain violations of the residential landlord and tenant act subject to the remedies and enforcement provisions of the Kansas consumer protection act.

Summary

The bill would treat certain breaches of the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act—specifically, actions or inactions by a landlord that cause a dwelling to be declared uninhabitable—as violations of the Kansas Consumer Protection Act. Only the attorney general, the AG’s designee, or a county or district attorney could bring a civil suit, and tenants would be considered consumers for purposes of the law. The new remedies would be added to any existing landlord‑tenant remedies.
