Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Missouri

I live in Missouri and I admit that I am late with my current months rent. However, there are some repairs that have not been made on my townhome since I moved in - 8 months ago. The office staff keeps saying that it is an insurance issue. They have sent adjusters, etc. to take pictures and access what needs to be done. Still nothing has been done. Is there anything I can do about this?

Get estimates on the repairs. Then sense copies of them, to the landlord, with a letter stating that if the repairs aren't completed within 30 days, you will have the repairs done by them an deduct it from your rent. The landlord may then allow you to pay less rent white waiting for the repairs to be completed.. Other than that, there may be no way for the slow repairs to excuse late rent. The landscape e can probably evict you without getting the repairs finished.

Good luck
