Kansas governor halts certain foreclosures and evictions

March 23, 2020

On March 23, the Kansas governor ordered that no bank or financial entity lending in Kansas could foreclosure on a residential property if all defaults or violations of the mortgage “are substantially caused by a financial hardship resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic.” In addition, the order precludes landlords from evicting residential tenants when all violations or defaults of the rental agreement are caused by financial hardship resulting from Covid-19. The order does not prohibit the continuation of evictions or foreclosures filed prior to March 23, or for foreclosures or evictions relating to borrowers or tenants who have not suffered a financial hardship resulting from Covid-19. The prohibition remains in effect until it is rescinded or the state of emergency is lifted.
