Kan. Stat. Ann. § 17-2365
Act controlling; administrative actions.
Operative Text
The provisions of this act shall be controlling, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any other law of this state, city charter or local ordinance. Any action of a city or the governing body thereof in carrying out the purposes of this act, whether by resolution, ordinance or otherwise, shall be deemed administrative in character, and no public notice or publication need be made with respect to such action taken.
Under Kansas Statutes §§ 17-2337, 17-2339, 17-2346, 17-2347, 17-2350, and 17-2365, this act takes precedence over conflicting state laws, city charters, and local ordinances. When a city or its governing body acts to carry out the purposes of this act—whether through resolutions, ordinances, or other means—those actions are classified as administrative rather than legislative in nature. As a result, cities are not required to issue public notices or publications before or after taking such actions.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Kansas Statutes §§ 17-2337 through 17-2365 should be aware that this act supersedes conflicting local rules, meaning city-level regulations that contradict it generally do not apply. Because city actions under this act are deemed administrative, they can be implemented without the public notice processes that typically accompany legislative changes. Compliant operators generally monitor city administrative actions taken under this act, since those actions can take effect without the advance publication that might otherwise signal a regulatory change.

Tenants should understand that under Kansas Statutes §§ 17-2337 through 17-2365, this act overrides conflicting local ordinances or city charter provisions that might otherwise offer additional protections. Because city actions under this act are classified as administrative, they may be implemented without public notice, which can make it harder to track regulatory changes affecting housing. Tenants who believe a city action under this act has affected their rights may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider to understand what remedies or challenges may be available.
