This bill amends the mobile home parks residential landlord and tenant act in Kansas, specifically focusing on the responsibilities of landlords and the rights of tenants. It prohibits landlords from imposing restrictions on tenants regarding their access to various services, including communications and video services, unless such restrictions are necessary for health, safety, or welfare. The bill also clarifies that landlords must comply with health and safety codes, maintain the mobile home space, and ensure that common areas are safe and clean.
Additionally, the bill includes provisions that allow landlords and tenants to agree in writing for tenants to perform certain duties, such as maintenance and repairs, provided that these agreements are made in good faith and do not evade the landlord's obligations. The existing section of K.S.A. 58-25,111 is repealed, and the new language emphasizes the importance of tenant access to services while outlining the responsibilities of landlords in maintaining the property.
