"Non-Residential" includes commercial, industrial, etc. property. Unless a written agreement provides otherwise, the landlord does not have to have a reason for terminating the lease in this manner, other than a desire to end the lease. A month-to-month lease is one which continues from month-to-month unless either party chooses to terminate. Unless a written agreement provides for a longer notice, 30 days notice is required prior to termination in this state. The notice must be given to the tenant within at least 30 days prior to the termination date.

The reason for termination is identified and the tenant is given no chance to cure the breach, unless the landlord desires (a check-box is used to indicate whether or not the tenant is allowed a chance to cure). The tenant is given 10 days to cure or vacate the premises (or to vacate the premises if cure is not allowed).
30 Day Notice to Terminate At-Will, Sufferance or Less Than One Year Tenancy ?ˆ“ Residential - This form is used by the landlord to terminate a residential "at-will," "at-sufferance," or periodic lease of less than one year. "Residential" includes a house, apartment or condo. An "at-will" lease is one that continues from period to period (for example, month-to-month) and is terminable by either party for any reason or no reason. The "at-will" tenancy includes any periodic tenancy with a period (the interval between rent payments) of less than one year. An "at-sufferance" tenancy is one in which the tenant has no right to be there, but is only tolerated by the landlord.
10 day Notice to Pay Rent or Lease Terminated - This 10 day Notice to Pay Rent or Lease Terminated form is used by a landlord to order the tenant to either pay the overdue rent by a stated deadline or move out of the dwelling by the expiration of the time period. (Note: If a written agreement provides for a longer notice, use the notice length stated in the agreement). "Residential" includes a house, apartment or condo. If the tenant fails to pay or move out by the deadline, the landlord may begin eviction proceedings in court. If the landlord does not elect to proceed with termination or eviction but instead agrees to accept rent after the termination date stated in the notice, the lease is generally reinstated.
Title: Understanding the Types and Importance of Missouri Eviction Documents Without Lease Introduction: In Missouri, eviction documents without a lease play a crucial role in navigating the legal process of removing a tenant from a property when no formal lease agreement exists. This comprehensive guide aims to shed light on the various types of eviction documents utilized in such scenarios, underlining their significance for landlords and tenants alike. 1. What is a Missouri Eviction Document Without Lease? An eviction document without a lease, also known as an unlawful detained, is a legal notice that enables a landlord to seek possession of a property from a tenant without a formal lease agreement in Missouri. It helps landlords protect their rights while outlining the tenant's rights and obligations throughout the eviction process. 2. Types of Missouri Eviction Documents Without Lease: a) Notice to Quit: This is the initial document that a landlord serves to the tenant, demanding them to vacate the property within a specific time frame. It acts as a formal notice, initiating the eviction process. b) Petition for Unlawful Detained: This is filed with the court if the tenant fails to comply with the Notice to Quit. The Petition outlines the reasons for the eviction, along with relevant supporting documentation, and seeks a legal judgment to obtain possession of the property. c) Summons: Once the Petition for Unlawful Detained is filed, the tenant is served with a summons, notifying them of the court hearing date and giving them an opportunity to respond. d) Writ of Possession: If the landlord successfully obtains a judgment, a Writ of Possession is issued. This authorizes law enforcement to physically remove the tenant and their belongings from the premises if they fail to comply voluntarily. 3. Importance of Missouri Eviction Documents Without Lease: a) Clarifying Legal Rights: These documents ensure both the landlord and tenant are aware of their legal rights and obligations concerning the eviction process. b) Formalizing the Process: By serving proper eviction documents, the landlord establishes a clear record of their intent to regain possession of the property and demonstrates adherence to legal procedures, aiding in court proceedings if required. c) Protecting Landlord's Interests: Eviction documents without lease help landlords protect their property rights, ensuring justifiable grounds for evictions are established and allowing them to regain control of their property. d) Outlining Tenant's Obligations: These documents inform tenants of their responsibilities, including moving out within the specified period, preventing misunderstandings or potential conflicts. Conclusion: Eviction documents without a lease in Missouri are crucial in ensuring a fair and lawful eviction process for both landlords and tenants. The Notice to Quit, Petition for Unlawful Detained, Summons, and Writ of Possession are essential documents that guide the eviction process while safeguarding the legal rights of both parties. By understanding their importance and adhering to the legal requirements, landlords and tenants can navigate the eviction process successfully.
