A buyer files a fair housing complaint in Kansas alleging that a landlord refused to rent to her because of her military status. The complaint is filed with the Kansas Human Rights Commission (KHRC). If KHRC finds probable cause and the matter is not resolved through conciliation, what is the typical next step under Kansas law?

Correct Answer

C) The case may proceed to a formal hearing before the Kansas Human Rights Commission or in district court.

Under the Kansas Act Against Discrimination (K.S.A. 44-1001 et seq.), if KHRC finds probable cause and conciliation fails, the case may proceed to a formal administrative hearing before the KHRC or the complainant may elect to pursue the matter in Kansas district court. This is the state-level enforcement process distinct from federal HUD procedures.

B
KHRC refers the case to the Kansas Real Estate Commission for license suspension.
C
The case may proceed to a formal hearing before the Kansas Human Rights Commission or in district court.
