HB 3047 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

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

HB 3047 prevents landlords from evicting veteran tenants unless illegal activity occurs on the property. It defines a "veteran" as someone with an honorable military discharge after six months of active duty (or six years in reserves/National Guard), or who served in a campaign with a medal. Landlords cannot evict these tenants for standard lease violations like nonpayment of rent. The law would require eviction cases to prove illegal conduct as the sole justification, changing current eviction rules for this group.
