Step Up & Take Action Step 1Contact your council members to let them know your thoughts on what’s being proposed in the KC Tenants Bill of Rights and the concept of allowing unqualified tenants to be able to move in anywhere and creating an unfunded mandate for another city department that duplicates currently existing functions.
