Missouri HB1954 holds landlords accountable for health and safety hazards on rental properties.
Missouri HB1954 amends the state's landlord-tenant law to hold landlords liable for damages if they fail to address conditions that materially affect tenant health and safety within 30 days of written notification. Such conditions include hazardous mold, sewage backup, and pest infestations. Damages can include health care costs related to these conditions. After remediation, landlords must have the premises inspected by a licensed inspector to confirm the hazards have been corrected.
