The Kansas rental application allows landlords to verify a prospective tenant's background information and credit history before signing a lease agreement. In Kansas, there is no maximum for an application fee; the landlord may ask for any amount.
Landlords in Kansas are restricted to a maximum of one (1) month’s rent security deposit for unfurnished units or one and a half (1.5) months’ rent for furnished units. A Kansas landlord may ask for an additional half (0.5) month's rent for a pet deposit.

In Kansas, a landlord may not demand more than the equivalent of one (1) month’s rent for unfurnished rentals, and more than one and a half (1.5) months’ rent for furnished rentals. However, if a tenant has pets, the landlord may require an additional one and a half (1.5) month’s rent for a deposit. Once the tenant’s lease ends or is terminated, the landlord must return the deposit within 30 days (Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2550, 58-2548).
