Operative Text

Cal. Civ. Code § 441.236
In the event that any premises to be rented, leased, sold, transferred or conveyed is or was used as a site for methamphetamine production, the owner, seller, landlord or other transferor shall disclose in writing to the prospective lessee, purchaser or transferee the fact that methamphetamine was produced on the premises, provided that the owner, seller, landlord or other transferor has knowledge of such prior methamphetamine production. The owner shall disclose any prior knowledge of methamphetamine production, regardless of whether the persons involved in the production were convicted for such production.

Plain English

Missouri Revised Statutes § 441.236 establishes a disclosure obligation that applies whenever a property that was used for methamphetamine production is being rented, leased, sold, or otherwise transferred. If the owner, seller, or landlord has actual knowledge that meth was produced on the premises, they must inform the prospective tenant or buyer of that fact in writing before the transfer occurs. This duty to disclose applies regardless of whether anyone was ever criminally convicted in connection with that production activity.

For Property Managers

Under Mo. Rev. Stat. § 441.236, property owners and managers who have knowledge of past methamphetamine production at a rental property are generally expected to provide a written disclosure of that fact to any prospective tenant or lessee before executing a lease. Compliant operators typically document this disclosure as part of their standard leasing paperwork and retain a copy for their records. Because the obligation is triggered by the owner's actual knowledge—not by a prior conviction—operators who learn of past meth production through any source should treat that information as subject to the disclosure requirement.

For Tenants

Mo. Rev. Stat. § 441.236 gives prospective tenants the right to receive written notice before signing a lease if the landlord knows the property was previously used for methamphetamine production. If a tenant later discovers that a landlord had such knowledge and failed to provide the required written disclosure, that omission may be relevant to legal claims or defenses available under Missouri law. Tenants who believe this provision was violated can consult a tenant-rights organization or a licensed Missouri attorney to understand what remedies or enforcement paths may be available to them.
