Illegal Eviction Legal Recourse

Summary

Landlords in Missouri must provide written notice before eviction and cannot evict tenants without a court order. Forcible removal of tenants or their belongings is illegal. If you have a lease agreement, it offers legal protection, and any violation by the landlord can lead to legal consequences. Consult a local attorney or Legal Aid office for further assistance.
