If an Elderly couple with a medical condition documented by their doctor needs to break their lease in Missouri Could they legally be charged until the end of their lease?

RE: Breaking the Lease

Many states provide that if a senior citizen is being transferred to a nursing facility, a landlord is obligated to release them. I cannot imagine on a personal level as a landlord myself, NOT releasing a senior citizen in poor health. You can contact your local housing to find out the exact law.

I don't know the law. I would feel morally obligated to let them out.
