Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Missouri
MO Contract for Deed
We signed a Contract for Deed on our home in MO in 9/06 because my husband took a new job in Arizona and we were under pressure to move. The market was very soft and the only buyers we could find needed a contract for deed because they had no down payment. Our ''buyers'' have only paid on time and in full once since they signed the contract back in September. We have a 14 day Notice to Cure and then a 15 Failure to Cure, which I normally sent out and they do end up paying. However, if they go past the 15 day Failure to Cure, how can we have them removed from the home? Do we need a court order? The Sheriff's Department or local police? We want to know what the procedure is in case it comes to this. Also, we suspect they may be smoking pot in the house and were wondering if this would be grounds for having them removed from the house? Thank you.

Re: MO Contract for Deed
This question was sent to me, but I must decline in favor of a Missouri attorney, since the laws of that state determine your rights.
