Lenexa has implemented a Residential Rental Licensing Program to help maintain the City’s quality neighborhoods and property values and promote the quality of life that Lenexa residents expect. While neighborhoods throughout Lenexa generally are in good condition, the City is taking this proactive step to ensure that neighborhoods do not deteriorate, and they retain their safe, attractive and friendly character. For more information about this please refer to our Inspection Checklist.

The program went into effect on Jan. 1, 2008 and requires all rental property owners to obtain a license from the City on an annual basis. The program will assist both owners and tenants with maintaining current and future rental properties.

We would appreciate your help on this program. The Rental Registration Licensing Summary and Explanation of Fees will provide more information about this program, as well as a program application. Completing the Rental Licensing Application will be sufficient to obtain the Rental License. The City asks that you read the Crime Resistant Addendum, sign the addendum and keep the addendum for your records.

The City rental licensing requirements do not apply to hotels and motels licensed by the State of Kansas, convents, monasteries, parish houses or rectories, mosques, temples, synagogues, hospitals, nursing homes or assisted living facilities licensed by the State of Kansas and subject to inspection by other government agencies, jails, and residential dwelling units owned and operated by any housing authority.
