A Missouri-compliant lease with every disclosure the state requires built in, not bolted on — 8 state-specific clauses plus 11 universal ones. Fill it in, e-sign it, and it lives with the tenant record.
Missouri is one of the few states where a landlord can file a rent-and-possession case the day after rent is late, with no advance notice required (RSMo § 535.020). Deposits are capped at two months’ rent and must be returned within 30 days.
These are the clauses and disclosures our Missouri template carries. Each cites the statute it comes from; the ones marked checkbox are filled from your property's answers.
