The Business of Real Estate Workshop in Missouri
The combined workshop covers landlord operations and the investing business.
Dataset review pending. These supplied references have not been independently verified. Educational information only, not legal, tax or financial advice.
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: Licensing and registration
No statewide rental-license statute; a local matter (St. Louis and Kansas City run their own programs).
