Missouri Landlord Notice to Enter Form

Missouri landlord's notice to enter is a way for a property owner to inform the tenant that they will be entering the property at some point in the future. In Missouri, state law provides only very narrow reasons for which a landlord may enter occupied property, and does not specify the purposes for which a landlord may enter.

Notice Can Be Used For

Illegal Use of Premises: If a tenant is using a leased property to run a gambling house, brothel, or operation selling illegal drugs, the landlord may enter the property and reclaim possession on grounds of a voided lease.[1]

Abandonment: A landlord may enter the premises of a property that has been abandoned. A property is considered abandoned if:[2]

  • The landlord reasonably believes the tenant has vacated the premises and does not intend to return;
  • The rent is due and has not been paid for at least 30 days;
  • The landlord provides written notice, on the property itself and via both first-class mail and certified mail, that the landlord believes the property has been abandoned and intends to enter the premises and remove the tenant’s possessions, and expects a response within 10 days; and
  • The tenant neither replies nor pays rent within the 10-day period, or replies affirming that the property has been abandoned.
