Modifies provisions relating to real estate transactions
HB 595 repeals Missouri's existing law and prevents counties and cities from regulating rent amounts or tenant screening for private rental properties. It prohibits local governments from banning landlords from refusing tenants who use housing assistance, restricting credit checks, limiting security deposits, or requiring automatic tenant right of first refusal. The bill allows local governments to still regulate their own properties, manage subsidized housing through agreements, and apply rent rules to properties using federal community development funds. This directly affects landlords, tenants, and local governments by removing most local rent control authority for private housing.
