Missouri does not impose a strong statutory duty on landlords to mitigate damages after a lease break. Landlords may still re-rent voluntarily, but your liability for remaining rent can be higher than in mitigation states.
Subletting in Missouri depends on your lease terms and state tenant law. Many leases require written landlord consent before subletting or assigning.
