Kansas Residential Rental Application

Inside the Kansas application

Every part of the form, in order — the application summary, 17 sections, and the office-use panel.

• Application summary The reasonable-accommodation contact line, property applied for, requested move-in date, offered rent, and stated security deposit.
• 1. Application Money Disclosure Completed by the owner/manager before the application is handed out: the Kansas no-fee or disclosed application-fee election, with no statutory cap or refund duty and K.S.A. § 58-2550 lease-stage deposit context.
• 2. About You Identity, contact channels, an electronic-notice election with a paper-mail alternative, and identity-document choices (SSN, ITIN, government-issued ID, or a lawful alternative) — no date-of-birth field anywhere on the form.
• 3. Other Proposed Occupants Household composition with a separate-signed-application election for each person — ages, birth dates, and adult/minor classifications are never collected; every other adult completes and signs a separate application.
• 4. Pets and Assistance Animals Household pets only; service and assistance animals are handled as fair-housing accommodations, never as pets.
• 5. Residential History Current and prior addresses, housing payments, owner/manager contacts, and an optional neutral move reason.
• 6. Employment & Income Employment plus any lawful source of income, with the Kansas source-of-income note.
• 7. Banking or Asset Verification An optional verification election; the form never collects account numbers.
• 8. References and Emergency Contact An optional personal reference and an emergency contact that is not used for screening.
• 9. Vehicle Information Vehicle details where parking is requested.
• 10. Additional Information An open area for lawful qualification information.
• 11. Screening Criteria Election The Kansas screening criteria election — no statutory criteria sheet is required, but the election records whether written criteria were delivered before any fee or report authorization.
• 12. Reusable or Portable Tenant-Screening Reports The reusable or portable tenant-screening report note — Kansas has no acceptance mandate; voluntary reports should be verified directly with their reporting agency.
• 13. Screening Information and Legal Limits No criminal-history self-reporting or state-mandated sequence; use consistently applied individualized criteria, avoid blanket exclusions, and account for K.S.A. § 44-1016 and 2026 SB 391.
• 14. Consumer Report Disclosure How consumer reports are obtained and the adverse-action notice commitment.
• 15. Privacy, Retention, and Disposal Data-minimization commitments under the FCRA and its Disposal Rule.
• 16. Applicant Declaration The signed certification of accuracy with a verification-contact authorization; electronic and copied signatures honored.
• 17. Screening Report Disclosure and Authorization The standalone signed authorization, investigative-report notice, agency identification, free-report-copy election, and the federal Summary-of-Your-Rights package insert.
• For Office Use Only An unnumbered owner/manager-only panel for fee, criteria-delivery, decision, refund, and federal adverse-action records; safeguard personal information under K.S.A. § 50-7a02.
