We have an inspection contingency in the contract and after the inspection came back with mold and other significant findings we decided to cancel the contract. The seller is not signing the release for the title company to release our funds. How can we get our earnest money back? Can the... Read more »
Hire an attorney first to write a letter. If that doesn't work an if the earnest money is a large sum or if the contract entitles you to reasoable attorneys' fees in the event of breach it might make financial sense to hire an attorney to file suit.
My landlord never advised that plants on property were toxic to dogs. I accumulated about $2,500 in vet bills trying to save my dog to no avail. Can I ask my landlord to reimburse?
I am sorry that your dog got poisoned, but I'm not aware of any Missouri case on point. My gut feeling is that a landlord is not under a duty to advise a tenant of plants that are toxic to animals. Here is a link to an old Missouri Court of Appeals case, Grimmeissen v. Walgreen Drug Stores, 229... Read more »
I have not been able to pay rent due to illness and unable to work
Unfortunately, a tenant's financial and physical conditions are not relevant to whether a writ of execution may issue and be carried out. You can certainly filed whatever you wish but, realistically, it won't be granted and the execution will likely be carried out before you could get your motion... Read more »

What is your legal question? You've indicated that your tags are expired. If so, then I don't understand why you believe the ticket was improper. Please clarify so that you might receive a more helpful answer.
Contract says must be mailed, I emailed my desire to cancel and phoned without signatures
I'm not aware of any cases addressing you specific issue. The statute seems to contemplate either mailed notice or in-person delivery of the notice, because it states, "Cancellation occurs when the buyer gives written notice of cancellation to the seller at the address stated in the agreement."...

Your question lacks details and context. Are you referring to a lease or a purchase? Is there a governing contract? These are key questions.
Her license is still suspended which has resulted in multiple tickets. How can she still have a suspended license if the Statue of limitations has passed.
Casenet will continue to show the judgment, even after 10 years, if that is what you are asking.
When researching a friends finances, I discovered that a garnishment in April 2018, was the second attempt to collect a debt that had been purchased sometime prior to November 2011, when the first garnishment order was filed for.
When questioning my friend concerning the information that I... Read more »
Missouri judgments are valid for 10 years and may be revived for additional 10-year periods.

Contact a personal injury attorney near you. If you are claiming to have been harmed, it is normal for the other side to want to see your medical records in order to assess whether to pay you and how much (or, more likely, little).
This last May, I won $500 in free airfare credit from a vaping website I use, named Breazy. I was told I would have my prize “no later than the 30th” of the month (so May 30th). It’s now almost mid October and still no prize. I’ve emailed and called many times. Filed a BBB complaint that... Read more »
I'm sorry to hear that Breazy won't keep its word. Filing suit in small claims court against an out-of-state company like Breazy won't do you much good for reasons that would take too long to explain in a short answer, but deal with your ability to collect the judgment if you get one. I suggest... Read more »
The driver must have a valid license.
Neither are CS, taxes or student loans
10 percent total. The garnishment that was served first is the one that gets paid.

A landlord can filed suit to evict you if the landlord can prove that you've breached your obligations under the lease or that the lease has terminated and you are still there.
The reason for my absence from court was that I care for my mom that has alzheimers and dementia, and the morning of court my mom was in a bad way and i called the court clerk to ask for a continuance. I was told that I should have called a day earlier but I didn't know that my mom was gonna be in... Read more »

There is one sentence stating the lease will automatically renew after year lease but was never told how we had to avoid that. We assumed that our lease was up in September and we told them we were moving and they said we never told them not to renew the lease. How can we get out of this lease. We... Read more »
Have an attorney read the lease and see if there is a way out. Leases commonly have automatic renewal provisions and they are generally enforceable. You could have given timely written notice that you were not renewing.

You won’t find a Missouri state law on point. Rather, you should check your local municipal code to see what constitutes a bedroom.

You can indeed. Anyone can sue anyone for anything. The outcome of the case will depend on the merits as well as what you do to defend the lawsuit.
