Cal. Civ. Code § 441.050
Tenancy from year to year, how terminated
Operative Text
Either party may terminate a tenancy from year to year by giving notice, in writing, of his intention to terminate the same, not less than sixty days next before the end of the year.
Missouri Revised Statutes § 441.050 governs how a year-to-year tenancy may be brought to an end. Under this provision, either the landlord or the tenant has the right to end such a tenancy by delivering written notice of their intent to terminate at least sixty days before the lease year concludes. Without this timely written notice, the tenancy generally continues into another year-long term.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under year-to-year rental agreements in Missouri should be aware that § 441.050 requires written termination notice delivered no fewer than sixty days before the end of the lease year. Compliant operators typically track the anniversary date of each year-to-year tenancy and calendar the sixty-day notice deadline well in advance. Keeping dated copies of all written notices helps document that the statutory requirement was met.

Under Mo. Rev. Stat. § 441.050, tenants in a year-to-year tenancy hold the same right as landlords to end the arrangement by providing written notice at least sixty days before the lease year ends. If a landlord attempts to terminate a year-to-year tenancy without providing the required written notice within the required timeframe, a tenant may be able to raise that failure as a defense in an eviction or other legal proceeding. Tenants who have questions about whether proper notice was given can consult a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office for general information about their options.
