Missouri Pet deposits/fees & service/ESA animals
Pet deposits/fees & service/ESA animals in Missouri
A deposit labeled as a pet deposit is not a security deposit under Missouri law, so the two-month cap and return rules for security deposits do not cover it. No other state rule on pet deposits was found in RSMo ch. 441 or 535 (full-text search). Assistance-animal rules come from fair housing law.
