Data version 2026.07.1, compiled July 2026. Verify with the current statute — laws change, and cities or counties may add stricter requirements.
What a valid Missouri rent increase notice includes
- • Full names of all tenants and the rental property address
- • The landlord’s name and mailing address
- • The current rent, the new rent, and the exact date the increase takes effect
- • Service at least 30 days before the effective date (Mo. Rev. Stat. § 441.060 (by analogy))
- • A certificate of service recording how and when the notice was delivered — courts routinely ask for this
NoticeKit generates all of the above, computes your actual notice period, and warns you — citing Mo. Rev. Stat. § 441.060 (by analogy) — if your dates fall short of the Missouri minimum.
