Bill > HB2449

This bill prohibits a landlord from evicting a tenant who is a veteran unless illegal conduct occurs on the premises. It defines a "veteran" as any person who is a resident of Missouri and has been honorably discharged from the U.S. Armed Forces after serving on active duty for at least six consecutive months, or a member of the reserves or National Guard who has completed at least six years of service or was called to active duty by the President. The bill aims to protect veteran tenants from eviction, except in cases where the premises are being used for illegal activities as described in existing law.
