Frequently asked questions
How much can a landlord charge for a rental application in Kansas?
Kansas sets no statewide cap on application fees (K.S.A. ch. 58 art. 25 (no provision)), so the amount is up to the landlord — market rates run $25-$75. Source: Kansas Statutes.
Is the application a lease?
No. The application only collects information for screening. If approved, landlord and tenant then sign a lease — see our Kansas lease agreement template, which reflects Kansas's deposit and notice rules.
