This bill amends the Mobile Home Parks Residential Landlord and Tenant Act in Kansas, specifically K.S.A. 58-25,111, to enhance tenant rights regarding access to communication and video services. It prohibits landlords from imposing restrictions on tenants' choices of providers for fuel, furnishings, and services, including cable television and telecommunications, unless such restrictions are necessary for health, safety, or welfare. The bill also clarifies that any charges for goods or services provided by the landlord must not exceed the actual costs incurred.
Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of landlords to maintain mobile home spaces and common areas, ensuring they are fit and habitable. It allows for written agreements between landlords and tenants regarding the performance of certain duties, provided 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 The existing section of K.S.A. 58-25,111 is repealed, and the new provisions take effect upon publication in the statute book.
