Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Missouri

rental agreetment

I paid a depost on an apartment before I signed the lease. After reading the lease, I decieded I couldn't agree to everything on the lease, and now the property owner will not give me back the $525 deposit. Can she do that?

Re: rental agreetment

If your written request for return of your deposit is not honored within 30 days, you may sue the party to whom you made the deposit (usually a company or corporation, not an individual) for damages. You could do this in small claims court, to minimize your costs.

Good luck
