Missouri permits no-fault termination of month-to-month tenancies in St. Louis with one month's written notice, and there is no city just-cause-eviction ordinance limiting the landlord's reasons for ending tenancy.
Under Mo. Rev. Stat. §441.060, a residential month-to-month tenancy in St. Louis may be terminated by either party with one month's written notice, with no requirement that the landlord state a reason. Year-leases simply expire at term and do not need a renewal offer. Unlike California or New Jersey, the City of St. Louis has not adopted a just-cause-eviction ordinance, and Missouri §441.043 also blocks local rent control, narrowing housing-stability tools. Landlords may not evict in retaliation for protected activity, but a non-renewal does not require a stated cause beyond the notice itself.
Issuing notice that is shorter than thirty days, retaliating for code complaints, or attempting self-help eviction can be challenged in St. Louis associate-circuit court and subject the landlord to damages.
