Rent To Own Payment Dispute

Summary

In Missouri, if youre facing issues with a rent-to-own property, you can send a certified letter to the realtor detailing your intent to pay off the home. If theres no response, consult a local real estate attorney and consider filing a lawsuit to enforce your contractual rights. You can also report the issue to the Missouri Real Estate Commission. Eviction is harder if youve been making payments as per the agreement. Keep all payment records, especially money order receipts, as they are crucial in proving your consistent payments.
