How many days notice for nonpayment in Missouri?

No fixed statutory period (see note), per Mo. Rev. Stat. §§ 535.010-535.020. no statutory notice period; landlord must make a demand for rent and may then file immediately.

What happens after the notice period expires?

If the tenant hasn't paid or vacated, you may file the eviction case in court. Keep the served notice and proof of service — the court will require them.

Can the tenant stop the eviction by paying?

Payment in full within the notice period cures a pay-or-quit notice in nearly every state; accepting partial payment after the period may reset the process in some states.
