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

HB 823 protects Missouri veterans from eviction by landlords unless illegal activity occurs on the rental property. It defines "veteran" as a Missouri resident who served honorably in the Armed Forces for at least six months (or met specific reserve/Guard service criteria). The law prohibits landlords from evicting such tenants solely due to their veteran status, with exceptions only if the premises is used for illegal conduct as specified in Missouri law (Section 441.020). This directly affects veterans renting housing in Missouri by adding a new layer of eviction protection to state housing law. The bill amends Missouri Revised Statutes Chapter 441 by adding Section 441.927.
