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?
