Deposit limits and notice periods below come from the Missouri dataset, not independent Valley Park ordinances. A rental in this market may be subject to additional municipal rules or exceptions. Confirm the exact address and applicable jurisdiction with the relevant office.
Missouri: Security deposits
May not demand or receive a deposit in excess of two months' rent (RSMo 535.300.1).
Any interest earned belongs to the landlord; none owed to the tenant (RSMo 535.300.2).
The uploaded dataset lists a deposit-return period of 30 days. Review the cited rule for the applicable conditions and timing.
Missouri: Notices and tenancy endings
No fixed statutory cure/notice day-count for nonpayment. Missouri uses a 'rent and possession' action (RSMo 535.010 et seq.); a demand for rent is required before filing, but no specified waiting period, and the tenant may pay to retain possession.
Month-to-month terminated by written notice ending on a rent-paying date not less than one month after receipt (RSMo 441.060).
Court listed in the supplied dataset: Circuit Court - Associate Circuit Division (rent and possession, RSMo ch. 535; unlawful detainer, ch. 534).
Missouri: Rent regulation
No statewide rent control; RSMo 441.043.1 prohibits counties and cities from regulating the amount of rent on private property.
Missouri: Licensing and registration
No statewide rental-license statute; a local matter (St. Louis and Kansas City run their own programs).
Missouri: Lease disclosures and receipts
Lead paint (federal, pre-1978)
No statewide statutory rent-receipt requirement identified (RSMo chs. 441, 535).
