Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Missouri

My husband and I have been having marital problems for approximately a year. He has signed a lease with his female friend. The rent agreement was based mainly upon his income. However, now that he wants to leave and return home she will not move out and when he has attempted to get his things to move back to our home. she becomes confrontational. She has threatened to injure herself and call the police on him. We would like to know what legal steps can he take to vacate the premises and lease?

Your husband should ask a Police officer to accompany him when he retrieves his belongings. This is a common practice, where the other party has threatened physical violence. However, this will not extra care him from his liability on the lease he signed. He will need to have an attorney read his lease to see assess his early termination options.

Good luck
