Landlords cannot refuse to sell, rent, sublease or otherwise make housing available based on a renter's race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status or national origin. Landlords also cannot charge some individuals higher rent or falsely state that housing is not available for discriminatory reasons.

Generally speaking, Missouri is considered a landlord-friendly state. That's because there are no laws that control rental, evictions can be carried out relatively quickly, and landlords have few habitability obligations. The following is a basic guide to the statewide Missouri landlord-tenant laws.

Can a Landlord Enter Property Without Permission in Missouri? Missouri does not have any laws requiring landlords to provide notice to tenants before entering their property. However, most landlords offer 24 hours' notice as a courtesy.

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.

Missouri has no laws requiring the landlord to ask permission to enter the premises. However, as a sign of good faith, landlords are encouraged to give their renters advanced notice of at least 24 hours before entering the unit ? unless there's an emergency.
