Right to Sublet
Kansas law prohibits tenants (under a rental term of two years or less) from subletting without their landlord’s written consent.[1] In most cases, the lease will determine whether or not subletting is allowed and will oftentimes provide a list of requirements that the tenant must adhere to if subletting is permitted. If the landlord’s permission is required, use a Landlord Consent Form.
Short-Term (Lodgings) Tax
In Kansas, an “Accommodations Broker” is any business that offers two or more sleeping rooms for rent. Accommodations Broker’s receipts are subject to state and local sales taxes regardless of a guest’s length of stay.
County and/or city Transient Guest Tax applies to an Accommodations Broker’s receipts on stays when a room is rented to the same person or entity for 28 consecutive days or fewer.
