SB 1732 Missouri Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to the unlawful use of real property

SB 1732 (Missouri) streamlines the process for property owners to remove unlawful occupants from residential properties. It allows owners or their authorized agents to file a verified petition directly with the court, triggering an immediate ex parte order for removal if the petition proves the occupant has no legal right to be there (e.g., not a tenant, guest, or family member). The bill requires specific allegations in the petition, such as prior notice to leave and no ongoing legal disputes, and permits courts to issue safety protections like restraining orders against respondents. This applies only to private residential properties, not commercial spaces or legally recognized tenants. The law aims to expedite removal while requiring court oversight within 48 hours.
