Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Missouri

If the landlord mailed you an eviction notice, it means that they believe you either are behind on rent or otherwise violated the lease agreement, or the lease has expired, and they no longer want to rent to you. A letter for the landlord does not mean that the deputies will be right out to put your family on the street, and courts don't mail eviction notices. The letter from teh landlord means that if you do not get the matter strainghtend out with the landlord, they will file suit to try and obtain a judgment against you. If they get that judgment, then they can ask the deputies to come out. If you have not gotten it straightened out with the landlord, you might consider moving or speaking directly with an attorney in your area. Many offer a free or low cost initial consultation. If the "eviction letter" was from the court, it was a Petition and Summons, in whcih case youdo nee dot move or speadk direclty with counsel. Or, there already is a judgment for possession, and the letter is letting you know that the deputies are coming.
