Make Notes On Legal Missouri Warranty Forms For Free

The Court requires a civil cover sheet (available from the Clerk's Office) and a complaint that includes an original signature and your address. You must also either pay the filing fee or request the Court to allow you to file the case without paying the filing fee.

If a court order has been issued against you, the landlord will then request a writ of execution of the eviction. Once the Court issues the writ of execution, the Sheriff's Department may move forward with the eviction. The Sheriff's Department will post a Notice of Eviction on the premises (property).

The eviction process can take 30 - 45 days, or longer. The time starts from when you have eviction court forms delivered to your tenant to the time they must move out. Choose any box, below, to learn more about the eviction process and get step-by-step instructions.

A tenant can file a motion to stay at any time after an eviction notice is served. (JCRCP 110.) However, most tenants do not request a stay until they have received the eviction order (which the sheriff or constable will post on the rental property). The court can only stay an eviction order for up to ten days.

Unlawful detainer is the legal action by which a landlord seeks to evict you if you fail to move when your lease expires, if your lease has been terminated or if you were not allowed to live on the property in the first place. Many leases are for a specific time period.

Satisfaction of Judgment: Once a defendant has paid-off a judgment, this form is used by the person receiving the money or property to let the court know that the judgment has been paid. Do not use this form to satisfy a judgment that contains an ongoing obligation, i.e. child support or maintenance.
