I am not exactly sure, but a people search site missouribirthindex.com lists the date of births for any Missouri resident born between 1910 and 2022. I found my date of birth on this site and emailed the owner about opting out, but she blatantly refused my request.

Missouri's rent-withholding statute is unlikely to apply. It's limited to $300 or half a month's rent if I recall correctly. An attorney would need to read the lease to assess the situation.

It could be difficult for attorneys here to advise based on these brief facts, as misconduct and shortfalls are separate areas. If your post receives no further responses, one option might be to consider a consult with attorneys who handle such types of cases.

A Missouri attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. One option could be to check with motor vehicles how long they take to process a replacement title, and if the process could be expedited. Good luck
