Missouri Lease renewal / non-renewal notice

Last reviewed 2026-10-23

Does a landlord have to give notice before not renewing a lease in Missouri?

When a tenant holds over after a written lease ends, any renewal, extension or new agreement must be shown by a written contract; oral evidence of renewal isn't admissible in a possession suit.
