Kansas and Wichita do not require landlords to pay tenant relocation assistance for no-fault evictions, condo conversions, or substantial rehabilitation. Federal Uniform Relocation Act applies only to federally funded displacement.
Kansas Statute 58-816a barred local rent control in 2008, and Kansas has not authorized municipal relocation-assistance ordinances. Wichita therefore has no local mandate that a landlord pay relocation costs to a no-fault evicted tenant, a tenant displaced by condominium conversion, or a tenant displaced by major rehabilitation. The federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act offers relocation benefits only when displacement is caused by a federally funded project, not private market activity. Tenants displaced by code enforcement red tag may qualify for limited Wichita Office of Central Inspection emergency relocation aid funded through HUD CDBG dollars.
A landlord generally has no relocation-payment exposure. Failure to follow proper Kansas eviction procedure, however, can expose the landlord to wrongful-eviction damages plus attorney fees in Sedgwick County District Court.
