Right to Sublet
Tenants in Missouri are required to get their landlord’s approval before subletting a rented property. If a rental is sublet without permission, according to state law, the landlord can double the rent that the tenant was paying.[1]
When a landlord’s permission to sublease is desired or required, consider using a Landlord Consent Form.
Short-Term (Lodgings) Tax
While Missouri does not regulate short-term rentals (STR) on a statewide basis, sales tax is charged on such transactions at the state level. Additionally, counties and cities may levy their own taxes and impose regulations. Typically, a short-term rental is one offered for 30 days or less.
Missouri short-term rental taxes:
- 4.225% state sales tax[2]
- County taxes/permits (varies by county)
- City taxes/permits (varies by city)
