A Missouri Notice to Quit for non-payment is a notice given by landlords to tenants who have failed to pay rent on time. This written demand for rent is required by law before a landlord can file an eviction lawsuit.
While Missouri doesn’t specify a timeframe for payment, it’s recommended that landlords allow three to five days for payment. If the tenant fails to pay, the landlord can initiate eviction proceedings. It’s best to obtain the tenant’s signature to provide evidence of the landlord’s request.
