Missouri Crime-Free Housing Addendum

This Crime-Free Housing Addendum is built with Missouri as the governing state. These are the Missouri landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.

Missouri rules at a glance

Missouri rules for a Crime-Free Housing Addendum
Nonpayment evictionNo fixed notice period; rent must be demanded before filingRSMo §535.020
NonpaymentOnce rent is due and has been demanded, the landlord may file a rent-and-possession action; no fixed waiting period and no §441.060 notice is required first (§535.020). Other unpaid charges can be joined, but they don’t count as rent and can’t by themselves support an order for possession.
Lease violationsAssigning or subletting without written consent, violating the written lease, committing waste, or allowing illegal gambling or drug activity lets the landlord recover possession after a 10-day notice to vacate (§§441.020–441.040).
Month-to-month terminationWritten notice ending on a rent-paying date at least one month after receiptRSMo §441.060.4

Ending a Missouri tenancy

Missouri ties month-to-month notice to the rent calendar rather than a flat day count: the notice must name a periodic rent-paying date at least one month after it is received (§441.060.4). Notice handed over mid-month therefore runs to the next rent day that is at least a month out. Any rental of a house or apartment that isn’t in a signed writing is treated as month-to-month (§441.060.3).

  • Nonpayment — Once rent is due and has been demanded, the landlord may file a rent-and-possession action; no fixed waiting period and no §441.060 notice is required first (§535.020). Other unpaid charges can be joined, but they don’t count as rent and can’t by themselves support an order for possession.
  • Lease violations — Assigning or subletting without written consent, violating the written lease, committing waste, or allowing illegal gambling or drug activity lets the landlord recover possession after a 10-day notice to vacate (§§441.020–441.040).
  • Abandonment — A unit is deemed abandoned only if rent has been unpaid 30 days, the landlord reasonably believes the tenant has left, and a statutory notice is posted and mailed (first-class and certified) without a response within 10 days (§441.065).

Missouri Crime-Free Housing Addendum FAQs

How do you end a month-to-month lease in Missouri?

Either party gives written notice stating that the tenancy ends on a periodic rent-paying date at least one month after the notice is received (§441.060.4). If rent is due on the 1st and notice is received on the 15th, the earliest end date is the 1st of the month after next.

How much notice is required to evict for nonpayment in Missouri?

Missouri sets no fixed pay-or-quit period. Once rent is due and the landlord has demanded it, the landlord can file a rent-and-possession case, and the one-month notice under §441.060 isn’t required first (§535.020).
