The Recorder of Deeds is Boone County's real-estate-records office. For recorded deed and property-record questions, use the county's official Recorder page. It is a records office, not the source for a tenant's lease or possession rights.
A sale and a tenancy are separate matters. Missouri law can let the property transfer while tenants remain; the lease, notice, and deposit details still matter.
An owner generally may transfer rented property and the right to future rent without the tenants' consent, unless the lease says otherwise. The buyer becomes the landlord. The sale itself does not cancel the lease or require the tenants to move.
A tenant who pays the prior owner before receiving notice of the sale is protected. Keep rent records and the tenant-notice details with the lease so the handoff can account for rent already paid.
A month-to-month tenancy generally ends on a rent-paying date at least one month after the tenant receives written notice. That is a separate termination step; the sale itself is not notice and does not set a move-out date.
Missouri caps security deposits at two months' rent. When the tenancy ends, the landlord generally must return the deposit within 30 days or provide an itemized list of lawful deductions and return the balance. The purchase agreement and closing statement should account for deposits when the property sells.
