Kan. Stat. Ann. § 44-1028
Same; severability.
Operative Text
If any provision of this act or the application thereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid, the remainder of the act and the application of the provision to other persons not similarly situated or to other circumstances shall not be affected thereby.
Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 44-1001 through 44-1028 includes a standard severability clause, meaning that if any single part of the act is found legally invalid by a court, that finding does not automatically invalidate the rest of the statute. The remaining provisions continue to operate as written, and the invalidated portion is simply set aside. This is a structural rule about how the law holds together, not a substantive requirement directed at any party.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under the severability provision of Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 44-1001 to 44-1028, a compliant operator generally does not need to treat a court ruling striking down one part of the act as eliminating all obligations under it. The rest of the act's requirements remain in effect unless specifically invalidated. Property managers typically continue following all other provisions of the act regardless of any isolated legal challenge to a particular section.

The severability clause in Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 44-1001 to 44-1028 means that tenant protections established elsewhere in the act are not automatically wiped out if a court invalidates a different part of the law. Rights granted under other sections of the act generally remain enforceable even if one provision is struck down. Tenants who believe their rights under the act have been violated may consider consulting a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider to understand which protections remain in force.
