Landlord notice deadlines — Missouri
In Missouri, the checked deadlines on this page cover: ending a tenancy, raising the rent. Each figure carries its statute and the stamp Rules checked October 2026. Run your exact dates through the checker — the period is only half the answer; the counting rule is the other half.
| End a tenancy | 30 days — month-to-month (Mo. Rev. Stat. § 441.060). 1 month's written notice ending on a rent-paying date. 60 days — year-to-year (Mo. Rev. Stat. § 441.050). 60 days' written notice before the end of the year. fixed-term — no fixed period in the statute (Mo. Rev. Stat. § 441.070). A fixed-term lease ends on its stated date with no notice required. |
|---|---|
| Raise the rent | 30 days (Mo. Rev. Stat. § 441.060). No cap, and local caps are barred. One month's written notice for a change in a month-to-month tenancy. |
| How days are counted | No Missouri counting rule (weekend/holiday treatment) was verified from a primary source for this dataset. |
| Just cause | No statewide just-cause requirement. |

Pay or quit: Missouri sets no statutory cure period and no fixed pay-or-quit notice: the landlord must first demand the rent, then may file a rent-and-possession suit. One protection remains — if the tenant tenders all rent due plus costs before the judge at the hearing, no judgment for possession may enter (Mo. Rev. Stat. § 535.040).
Local rules sit on top of state law in many places — city just-cause lists, rent boards, and prescribed local forms. A state deadline is the floor of the analysis, never a promise that no local rule adds to it.
The paper that goes with the date
The checker gives you the date. The kit gives you the notices: pay or quit, non-renewal / termination, and rent increase letters generated from these same checked deadlines, a letter builder that fills in your dates and names, the move-in and move-out inspection checklists, and the proof-of-service checklist.
One-time payment. No subscription. The checker stays free either way.
