Missouri Mobile Home Park Operator Resources

Quick-reference guides for operating a mobile home park in Missouri — covering rent control, eviction process, lease law, and market data. Governed by RSMo Chapter 700 (Mobile Homes).

Rent Control

Rent Control in Missouri

Missouri does not currently impose rent control on mobile home park lot rents. Operators must still follow RSMo Chapter 700 (Mobile Homes) notice requirements and lease provisions on every increase.

Eviction Process

Eviction Process in Missouri

Mobile home park evictions in Missouri typically take longer than apartment evictions because the resident often owns the home. This is the step-by-step process under RSMo Chapter 700 (Mobile Homes), with notice periods, court timelines, and operator best practices.

Lease Law

Lease Law in Missouri

Lease requirements for mobile home parks in Missouri go beyond standard residential lease language. RSMo Chapter 700 (Mobile Homes) imposes MHP-specific provisions that don't apply to apartments. This guide covers the disclosures, notice formats, and clauses operators in Missouri should include.

Market Data

Market Data in Missouri

The Census counts about 149,666 mobile homes in Missouri, 5.3% of the state's housing and 20th among the 50 states. About 81,942 are owner-occupied and 31,991 are rented.

Park Valuation

Park Valuation in Missouri

Parks in Missouri are valued like parks everywhere: net operating income divided by a cap rate. What changes by state is the rent rule. Missouri sets no statewide cap on lot rent.
