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

This bill would allow tenants to use the Kansas Consumer Protection Act for certain landlord violations that make a rental property uninhabitable. If a landlord's actions or inactions lead to a government agency deeming a unit unsafe to live in, the landlord would be treated as a supplier and the tenant as a consumer under consumer protection laws. This change would apply unless the tenant caused the problem, and only the Attorney General or a district attorney could bring a lawsuit.
