Missouri Source of income discrimination

Last reviewed 2026-10-23

Can a landlord refuse Section 8 or other source of income in Missouri?

Cities and counties may not ban landlords from refusing tenants whose rent includes federal or other housing assistance, though local laws protecting recipients of veterans' benefits are still allowed. Missouri also has no state ban on source-of-income discrimination.
