Common interest communities

Kansas's modern HOA law.

The Common Interest Owners' Bill of Rights Act is Kansas's modern, comprehensive law for community associations — but it applies only to larger communities of 12 or more units (in full to those created after January 1, 2011, and prospectively to older ones).

K.S.A. 58-4601 Kansas Uniform Common Interest Owners' Bill of Rights ActK.S.A. 58-4601 to 58-4623 — open board meetings, records open to owners, unit-owner voting and board removal, annual budgets and emergency special assessments, a duty of good faith, limits on suspending owners for nonpayment, and enforcement with attorney fees. Applies to communities of 12 or more units — in full to those created after January 1, 2011, and prospectively to those created before.

Condominiums & townhouses

The opt-in ownership acts.

Kansas's older condominium and townhouse laws are opt-in — a community becomes subject to one by recording a declaration electing in. The key difference is what you own: a condominium unit plus a share of the commons, versus a townhouse lot held in fee simple.

K.S.A. 58-3101 Kansas Apartment Ownership ActK.S.A. 58-3101 to 58-3129 — Kansas's 1963 condominium law (“apartment” and “condominium unit” are interchangeable): creation by recorded declaration and floor plans, bylaws, the common-expense assessment lien, records available to owners, and insurance. K.S.A. 58-3701 Kansas Townhouse Ownership ActK.S.A. 58-3701 to 58-3713 — Kansas's 1975 townhouse law, where each owner holds their lot in fee simple and the association owns the common areas: the declaration and its covenants, the assessment lien, conveyances, and insurance.

Fair housing & disability

Rights and protections for residents.

Kansas's civil-rights and disability laws bar housing discrimination, require reasonable accommodations, and even require an association to strip discriminatory covenants from its documents.

K.S.A. 44-1001 Kansas Act Against DiscriminationK.S.A. 44-1001 to 44-1044 — bars housing discrimination because of race, religion, color, sex, disability, familial status, national origin, or ancestry; requires reasonable modifications and accommodations; and requires an HOA to remove discriminatory restrictive covenants (§ 44-1017a). Enforced by the Kansas Human Rights Commission. K.S.A. 39-1101 Kansas Rights of Persons With DisabilitiesK.S.A. 39-1101 et seq. — equal access to public places and public accommodations, and the right to be accompanied by a service, guide, or hearing dog — including in residential housing, without an extra charge (the owner is liable for any damage the dog causes).
