Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a written lease agreement in Missouri?

While oral agreements may be enforceable for short-term leases, Missouri law strongly favors written lease agreements. A written lease protects both landlord and tenant by clearly documenting terms, responsibilities, and required disclosures under the Missouri Revised Statutes Chapter 535. Missouri requires landlords to include specific disclosures such as Lead paint disclosure (federal, pre-1978 housing) and Landlord's name, address, and agent contact information for receiving notices (Mo. Rev. Stat. § 535.185), which must be in writing.

What are Missouri's security deposit rules?

In Missouri, there is no statutory limit on security deposits. Landlords must return the deposit within 30 days after the tenancy ends. Interest on security deposits is not required. Deductions must be itemized in writing.
