Tenants must send notice before breaking a lease if they have a periodic one. It's either one month of notice for monthly leases or 60 days of notice for yearly ones with no end date. Those with fixed-term leases don't need to provide notice, as the lease ends on its last day.

During the fixed term (the duration as stated in the agreement), a lease can be terminated only if one of the following applies: Both the tenant and the landlord come to a mutual agreement. ... The tenant is in substantial breach of the lease. ... The tenant or the landlord uses a break clause (if there is one in the lease).

Without a break clause or any other options, you may be able to negotiate an early end to the commercial lease if the landlord agrees. This should provide a clean break regarding your liabilities, but you should obtain professional advice to confirm you have no further legal obligations to the landlord.

(1) Except as provided in subdivision (2), the landlord or the tenant may terminate a month-to-month tenancy by a written notice given to the other party stating that the tenancy shall terminate upon a periodic rent-paying date not less than one month after the receipt of the notice.

Under landlord tenant laws in Missouri, legal justifications for breaking a lease agreement include landlord harassment, lease violations, violation of habitability standards or any of the other landlord responsibilities, and if the tenant is a serviceman beginning active military duty with the armed forces.

The forfeiture procedure will depend on the nature of the tenant's breach. If the landlord seeks to forfeit the lease for the tenant's non-payment of rent, there is generally no need to serve notice on the tenant. For breaches other than non-payment of rent, the landlord will have to serve a Section 146 notice.
