This bill amends the residential landlord and tenant act to require landlords to accept full or partial payment amounts from tenants and to consider a broader range of income sources when evaluating a tenant's or prospective tenant's eligibility for housing. Specifically, if a tenant or their representative offers payment and it is refused, the tenant's obligation is discharged to the extent of the payment tendered. Additionally, any refusal to accept such payments or failure to discharge the tenant's obligation is classified as a deceptive or unconscionable act under the Kansas consumer protection act, which allows for legal remedies.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that when landlords require tenants to demonstrate income for housing qualification, they must consider all lawful sources of income, including wages, government assistance, gifts, and other financial benefits, while explicitly excluding federal housing assistance under section 8 of the United States housing act of 1937. Violations of this income consideration requirement are also deemed deceptive or unconscionable under the Kansas consumer protection act, ensuring that tenants have legal recourse. The provisions of this act are supplemental to existing laws governing landlord-tenant relationships.
