  1. My mother came from Ukraine with tourist visa for visit me and stay in my apartment of course . She will be couple months in US . Can she count like a guest or like tenant ?

    1. Hey Olga,
      In Missouri, if your mother pays rent while staying in your apartment, she will be classified as a tenant. If she does not pay rent, she will be considered a guest, regardless of the duration of her stay.

  2. If someone has stayed 2 nights in a row offered to pay a $100 was not asked for money. Then left for 2 weeks. Then comes back stays for 1 night. Then leaves for 3 nights. Then comes back for 2 nights. Then leaves for 2 nights. They never really stayed here. All of this was less than 30 days. Do they have rights. They were not asked to pay anything. There was no rental agreement.

    1. Hey Billy,
      Based on the scenario you’ve described, the individual in question does not appear to have tenant rights under Missouri law. The sporadic nature of their stays and the total time spent at the property do not meet the criteria for establishing tenancy. Furthermore, the lack of a rental agreement and the absence of consistent rent payments further indicate that this person should be considered a guest rather than a tenant. Since their presence at the property does not constitute continuous residence, they have not acquired the legal rights or protections typically afforded to tenants.
