It is to my understanding that in the city of Shawnee, Kansas, a similar law was voted in to “protect tenants from exploitative landlords”. As for Springfield, the unrelated tenant cap is news to me as of yesterday. While it’s true that there are zones where this does not apply and therefore cannot be legally enforced, unfortunately there is only a handful of affordable 4BR rentals available and all of the ones that I have specifically searched for on zoning maps are located in R-SF zones. Luckily, you’re right, it doesn’t really seem like the city even acknowledges this law.

Very interesting! Thank you for sharing. God forbid that young people have access to affordable housing, or even just low income individuals, for that matter.

That’s interesting, considering that I’ve heard that Drury does not have sorority houses on campus for the same reason, but we have a handful of fraternity houses.
Thanks for the resources, I have read through them a couple times now, very helpful:)

Ah cool, good to know lol
So you’re saying they use that law to be picky-choosey about who they rent to? Or is it a law that is regularly upheld?
