If you two are not subject to a written lease, then you are on a month-to-month tenancy and your landlord. If you are both considered tenants, then one tenant cannot kick the other out because the right to be there is a right conferred by the landlord.

Congratulations on getting a judgment. That's often the easy part, unfortunately. The court should have the forms online. You can do this yourself or if you want to increase the chance of doing it right and getting paid, hire an attorney either by the hour or on a percentage basis.

You should schedule a consultation with a Missouri attorney. Defamation cases are tough in Missouri. To succeed, you’d need to prove that the statement was not only false and not privileged, but also that you suffered actual damage as a result. The unpaid wages is a separate issue. $40k is a...

You didn't ask a specific question, but it sounds like you need to hire an attorney. In order for your landlord to force you out tomorrow legally, there would need to have been a lawsuit filed, a judgment entered, and action by the sheriff. My guess is that what you received is merely a... View More

You could sue to recover your actual damages. You could seek the return of all rent paid. On the other hand, you lived there and for some time received some benefit for your money. You could also sue for damages resulting from having to vacate early and perhaps paying more rent in a new place.... View More

A landlord may be sued for breach of lease or for a tort claim.

I am confident that if you are willing and able to pay an attorney by the hour, and assuming your situation has merit, you will be able to find an attorney.

You can discuss with that attorney emotional distress... View More

In Missouri, what you describe is not unlawful on its face. Your employer cannot discriminate based upon your membership in a protected class, such as race or national origin, but an employer generally need not be fair or nice. I don’t know if the skills for the position differ. Even if they... View More

I am sorry to hear about your situation. You can likely sue your landlord for breach of the implied warranty of habitability. You will need to decide whether it is worth paying an attorney by the hour to go after your landlord. if your landlord allowed the property to be condemned, he might not... View More

Yes, LLCs may be parties to lawsuits in small claims court. Getting and collecting a judgment for only $250 will take a fair bit of time. Most small claims judgements go uncollected.

If you wish to avoid a damaging judgment it would be wise to vacate before a lawsuit is filed. Otherwise, you’ll likely be sued for unlawful detainer, have a judgment for double rent imposed, and 10 days after entry of judgment the plaintiff will apply for a writ of execution for the sheriff to...

Unless you are the prosecuting attorney you may not file a criminal lawsuit. You may file a civil lawsuit.

Unless I’m missing something, it sounds like you’ve answered your question in the affirmative. You had an actual trial and were apparently convicted? If so, then you

Unfortunately, you are responsible for paying your creditors even if your agent filed bankruptcy. It’s not the creditors fault that someone took your money and didn’t use it to repay your debts. Sad situation.

I had to look up that statute because it was unfamiliar to me. It’s an old one, but my quick research revealed barely any cases filed under it. Basically, you’d draft a petition like for most causes of action: identify the parties; shows jurisdiction and venue are proper; state facts... View More

Hire an attorney who has experience defending rent and possession cases. There’s generally no easy way out unless you can tender the full rent due plus costs. Rent purchase agreements generally go badly for tenants who have trouble honoring the agreements strictly.

You may call the police and ask them to take a report. You may also file a civil lawsuit if you feel it is worth doing so.

A lawyer can sent a letter and that might get taken more seriously than communication from a non-attorney.

You’ve not articulated a legally cognizable claim. It is not unlawful for an employer to be mean, insulting, rude, and unfair. The actions need to be on account of your race, religion, national origin, etc.

They are not yours even if you have spent money on them. You can buy the dogs from your son if the parties agree upon the terms.

An eviction is legal if a summons was posted or personally served, a judgment was entered, and the sheriff executes a writ to return possession to the landlord.
