Also, due to KC mayor creating this ordinance, which to highlight and summarize includes:bans discrimination against tenants based solely on:"-Source of income from an occupation, including gig work or paying rent in cash-Use of public programs like Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, disability checks, or social security-Poor credit score-Prior evictions and alleged damages older than 12 months (less than 12 months can be a basis for denial)-Prior convictions or arrests (sexual and violent crimes are excepted, a landlord can still deny based on these convictions)-The ordinance also requires the city to proactively scan for rental ads using discriminatory language like “no Section 8” or “no past evictions”.

The demand for short-term rentals in this area is generally high, especially properties with desirable amenities like a pool.
