Prohibits a landlord from evicting a tenant who is a veteran unless illegal conduct occurs on the premises

This bill prohibits landlords in Missouri from evicting tenants who are veterans unless illegal conduct occurs on the rental property. It defines a veteran as a state resident who served honorably for at least six months or completed six years in the reserves, with specific exceptions for those released due to service-connected disabilities or government reductions in force. The law creates a special protection for these tenants by making eviction illegal under normal circumstances, effectively requiring proof of criminal activity before a landlord can proceed with removal. This measure directly affects both property owners and military veterans living in Missouri by adding an extra layer of security to their tenancy.
