Illegal Lease And Eviction

Summary

In Missouri, landlords are required to provide safe and habitable housing, maintain electrical systems, and follow proper eviction procedures. Turning off utilities can be considered a form of illegal eviction. Landlords must also provide a written lease if requested by the tenant. If a landlord asks a tenant to leave the property, they must provide at least 30 days notice for termination without cause. Tenants may have grounds to contest such evictions.
