Eviction And Disability Rights
Summary
Landlords in Missouri must follow legal procedures for eviction, including providing written notice. Falsifying documentation for eviction can be considered fraud. Disabled tenants have additional protections, and landlords cannot discriminate based on disability. You can challenge a protection order in court and should consider consulting a local attorney or disability rights organization for assistance.Full Conversation
