| claim | free route | statute |
|---|---|---|
| Landlord & tenant a landlord keeping my deposit | — | Kan. Stat. Ann. § 58-2550 |
| Employment unpaid overtime | The Office of Employment Standards takes wage claim form K-ESLR 105, online or on paper, and it is published in Spanish as well as English. A Labor Conciliator sends the claim to your employer, who has ten business days to answer in writing. You must respond to that answer or the case may be closed without an investigation. If it does not settle, there is a hearing before a presiding officer, which the agency describes as essentially a trial.↗ | — |
| Consumer a debt collector harassing me | The Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division takes the complaint. What it enforces is the Kansas Consumer Protection Act, and the office describes its own work as educating consumers and businesses about deceptive and unconscionable practices and suing those who engage in them — preventing future harm first, putting money back in consumers' pockets second. Your own FDCPA claim is the part that is about your money.↗ | — |
| Employment being fired for complaining | Your EEOC deadline here is 300 days and not the 180 you will read almost everywhere, because the Kansas Human Rights Commission exists — that agency is the whole of what triggers the extension in 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)(1). Do not wait for the federal date. K.S.A. § 44-1005(i) gives you six months for the state complaint — about half the federal window — unless what happened was a continuing pattern, in which case it runs from the last act. Work back from the state date. Meet that one and the federal one takes care of itself.↗ | — |
| Injury a car accident | — | K.S.A. § 60-513(a)(4) |
