📰 News we're reading

• Hundreds of Kansans lost their apartment due to landlord neglect. One change in law could help (linncountyjournal.com) — Hundreds of Aspen Place tenants in Gardner were forced out when the city condemned the complex over unsafe water, sewage, and infrastructure problems, leaving many homeless for months.
