A: In Missouri, if your landlord is disclosing your rental payment history to your employer without prior contact or notice to you, it raises concerns about privacy and potential violations of landlord-tenant laws. Review your lease agreement for relevant clauses and communicate with your landlord to address the issue. It's important to understand your rights, review privacy laws, and inform your employer about the inappropriate actions of your landlord. For personalized legal advice tailored to your unique circumstances, it's advisable to consult with an attorney.
