St. Louis does not have a broad citywide relocation-assistance ordinance for no-fault evictions, but tenants displaced by code-condemned buildings or federally funded projects may qualify for state, federal, or Building Division-coordinated relocation aid.
Unlike Los Angeles, Seattle, or Portland, St. Louis has not enacted a general relocation-assistance ordinance requiring landlords to pay relocation fees in routine no-fault evictions. Relocation aid is available primarily in two contexts: when the city Building Division condemns a property as unfit, displaced tenants may receive limited city or HUD-funded relocation help; and when a federally funded project displaces residents, the Uniform Relocation Act guarantees fixed-rate moving and replacement-housing payments. Missouri §441.043 also blocks local rent control, narrowing the city's tenant-protection toolkit. Routine private no-fault terminations carry no statutory relocation payment.
Displacing tenants from a federally funded project without paying URA-required relocation benefits can expose the developer or landlord to federal recapture, audit findings, and tenant suits.
