Kansas City, Missouri’s new Source of Income (SOI) Law went into effect this August, and it’s crucial for property owners and managers to understand how to stay compliant. Whether you’re managing one unit or an entire portfolio, you must adjust your processes to follow the new regulations. Marketing, tenant screenings, rental forms, and conversations—everything has changed. Are you prepared?
We’ve hosted several events to help you navigate this law, but we know there are still lingering questions. That’s why we’re excited to bring you this special MAREI Pop-Up Meeting featuring Attorney Julie Anderson, the city’s leading Landlord Tenant Attorney and long-time member of the MAREI Community.
Some of the Questions We Have
Julie Anderson will break down the specific changes and how they affect your operations. She will address questions from landlords and property managers like:
- “Can I still use credit score, income, and references for tenant evaluations?”
- “Will the ‘case by case” basis violate Federal Fair Housing?
- “Do these regulations apply only to Kansas City, or will I need to adjust my practices in surrounding areas like Gladstone or Prairie Village?”
- “What if my property doesn’t meet Section 8 standards—how do I communicate this upfront without violating the law?”
- “Can I maintain a policy that doesn’t cover utilities for Section 8 tenants?”
- “What if my rents are more than what Section 8 will pay?”
- “What if I am offering a property on a Lease Option or Contract for Deed? Are they rentals and would this law apply?”
- Have other questions, email MAREIKC@gmail.com
Why You Can’t Miss This:
Even if you only manage a single rental property in Kansas City, the new SOI law impacts how you operate.
