Providing tenants with relief from use by landlords of old eviction or rental arrears records to deny housing.

Summary

The bill would stop landlords and consumer reporting agencies from relying on eviction or rental‑arrears information that is more than three years old when deciding whether to rent to a tenant. It also requires agencies to contact consumers and give them a chance to explain any adverse tenant history, and forces landlords to disclose any reports they used for a denial. Violations would be treated as deceptive practices under Kansas consumer‑protection law, and eviction court files would be sealed after three years.
