Kan. Stat. Ann. § 44-1010
Petition for reconsideration of orders of commission.
Operative Text
Any party being dissatisfied with any order or decision of the commission may petition for reconsideration in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 77-529 and amendments thereto. No cause of action arising out of any order or decision of the commission shall accrue in any court to any party unless such party shall petition for reconsideration as herein provided. No party shall, in any court, urge or rely upon any ground not set forth in the petition for reconsideration.
Under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 44-1001 to 44-1010, any party that disagrees with an order or decision issued by the commission has the right to petition for reconsideration, following the procedures set out in K.S.A. 77-529. Critically, this provision makes reconsideration a prerequisite: no court action can be brought based on a commission order unless the dissatisfied party first files that petition. Additionally, any arguments raised in court are limited to the grounds that were already included in the reconsideration petition—new arguments cannot be introduced at the court stage.

Property owners or managers subject to a commission order under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 44-1001 to 44-1010 who wish to challenge that order generally ensure they file a timely petition for reconsideration before pursuing any court remedy. Compliant operators also take care to include every substantive objection or legal ground in that petition, since arguments omitted there cannot be raised later in court. Keeping thorough records of the commission's decision and the grounds for disagreement helps support a complete and timely petition.

Tenants who receive an unfavorable commission order under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 44-1001 to 44-1010 have the right to petition for reconsideration before seeking relief in court. Because this step is required before any court action can proceed, and because courts will only consider grounds raised in the petition, tenants generally benefit from identifying all concerns at the petition stage. Tenant-rights organizations or legal aid services can help explain the reconsideration process and the procedural requirements under K.S.A. 77-529.
