Boevingloh & Pliakos is primarily a litigation firm. Evictions, while generally small cases, can be tricky and timely action is important to landlords. In Missouri evictions can occur under several statutes one of our favorites is §§ 441.710 – 441.880 RSMo, which allows for expedited evictions when illegal activities are taking place at the residence. In the City of St. Louis these types of evictions can be important because the City is very aggressive with landlords who allow undesirables to stay on the property. We work with many City landlords to not only recover possession and damages but to make sure the landlord is not held liable by the City for the activities of tenants. Additional information on evictions can be found in this booklet produced by the Missouri Attorney General.
