What Missouri law says
| Notice before a rent increase | No statute sets a rent-increase notice period. In practice, a month-to-month tenancy can only be changed by ending it with at least one month's written notice, effective on a rent day (RSMo 441.060.4). During a fixed term, the lease controls. Local rent control is preempted. Source: RSMo 441.060.4; RSMo 441.043.1 |
|---|---|
| Rent control / increase limits | Statewide preemption. Counties and cities, including charter governments, may not enact, maintain, or enforce ordinances regulating the rent charged for privately owned residential or commercial rental property. Exceptions: property the locality owns, voluntary agreements for subsidized properties, and CDBG-assisted properties. Source: RSMo 441.043 |
