A sale and a tenancy are separate matters. Missouri generally allows the property and the right to future rent to transfer, but the lease, any notice, and the 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 tenants to move.
A tenant who pays the prior owner before receiving notice of the sale is protected. Keep track of rent already paid and the notice of sale so the handoff can account for both.
A month-to-month tenancy generally ends on a rent-paying date at least one month after the tenant receives written notice. Selling the property is not itself that 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 the deposit when the property sells.
