Yes, this is typically handled with a Notice of Termination / Notice of Non-Renewal rather than a new lease form.
Since the property is in Missouri, you will want to use a Missouri-specific notice and make sure it is served within the required timeframe under your lease and applicable state/local law. AAOA’s step-by-step, state-specific premium forms include a Missouri termination/non-renewal notice option here: https://american-apartment-owners-ass...
Be sure to review the lease terms, notice requirements, and delivery method before serving it. Reminder: We are not attorneys and cannot provide legal advice. Notice rules can vary by state, county, city, municipality, lease type, and local requirements, so you may want to confirm with a Missouri landlord-tenant attorney if you are unsure.
