Can a couple be evicted in Kansas for living in a 1brm apt with a baby over 6 months of age?

Question

Is this really a law?
Our landlord says that if there are 2 adults and a baby over 6 months of age, that we will be forced to rent a larger apartment.
She said that it is the apartment's policy and that she is almost certain that it is a law in Overland Park, KS. When I talked to someone else about it, they said that it IS a law.
(BUT there are 5 adults and 2 kids living in the 1brm next door!!!)

In addition to this, she gave us the option of just paying month to month for the next 3 months while we decide what to do. We presently pay 700 per month, but would have to pay 800 per month if we went month to month. Is this reasonable?

Answer 1

If either of you work for Sprint, call your EAP.

Ya know, the look and feel of kansas info on tenants is so hostile to tenants it's shocking. It's a very stark contrast wtih California and NY's which have lots of info and respect for people.

You certainly don't need a bigger bedroom. Babies evolved - hey, good one for kansas - to need to sleep with their moms, so can Kansas really compel you to have a room no one in your family can use without compromising your baby's welfare? jeepers.... sounds like a legal issue to me... hope you're nursing - co-sleeping aides nursing which is vital to brain development, diabetes and cancer prevention, and emotional well being.

here's some resources - good luck.

Answer 2

Its the law for public housing. I don't know if private housing gets to set their own rules or what. Probably they are allowed to enforce the same standards if they choose to. You could report those other people if you wanted. I think you have like 3 months rent free if she evicts you though and if she is already using the E word I would milk it for all its worth because she isn't being very nice about it. An eviction looks just as bad whether you stay the full time without paying rent or leave right away so don't be in a hurry to leave if they through you out for that.

indexed under are some data... you pick: each and every infant will value you and your companion $250,000 (Yahoo discern various months in the past) to age 18, and that's with not something extra... no braces, no camp, no horses, no RVing, no soccer clothing, not inner maximum song or artwork instructions, not holiday to Washington DC or Italy for artwork, no symphony tickets for you men, no seeing The Nut Cracker, or any opera.......definitely not something yet an entire abdomen of inexpensive food, hill billy song, a television, laptop, and a few dope in hs. attractive, only attractive. those old gomers working at Walmart and Costco at seventy six, are not there via the hoards because of the fact they're bored, hon, they're there because of the fact they're broke. That one extra infant made it impossible for them to fund an IRA or a retirement plan, even whilst employers might tournament it dollar for dollar. Ask one why he's here... then look ahead to the tears. no person desires to be nonetheless working at seventy six. however the minimum salary buckos they each and every make is the version between food, and procuring their meds. i don't understand roughly you yet $250,000 into my IRA and allowed to strengthen in sound investments over 40 years is to me one hell of lots of money. And if the two one in all you're submitting for financial disaster now, i'm guessing you have neigher the economic skills to shop, nor the money to attain this. What we'd like, and what we are in a position to have adequate funds are often poles aside. in case you and your husband are 25ish now, you get your lives lower back at 40 5, whilst those childrens are approximately 20, till you will fund college besides. meaning that at age 50, nicely into middle age, you have purely 15 years to artwork to fund a retirement plan, and particularly frankly, sweetie, that only isn't adequate time. Ask any economic consultant. Soc. Sec. will pay for not something. $3 hundred/month isn't a wad. So, it is quite as much as you.... take care of somewhat with one infant, or plan to artwork into your 70's with 2. EDIT: next 3 hundred and sixty 5 days isn't your situation... it is the subsequent 2.5 an prolonged time, hon.
