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.
