SB 929 - Under this act, a landlord may remove a tenant's
property without liability after the tenant has been ordered
to vacated the premises. This act allows Kansas City to enact
ordinances that prohibit landlords from disposing tenant
property by removing it from a building and placing it on the
premises of the property. Any ordinance adopted by a city
shall give the tenant 72-hour notice that the landlord intends
to dispose of the property and that after such notice period,
the landlord may dispose of the property by sale, gift or
disposal. The landlord, however, shall be prohibited from
disposing of the property by placing it on the premises,
rights-of-ways, streets or sidewalks. The reasonable cost of
disposing of the tenant's property may be charged against the
tenant.
