In Missouri, Execution For Possession of Premises For Non-Payment of Rent (Landlord-Tenant Actions) is a legal process that allows a landlord to regain possession of property if a tenant has failed to make rent payments. The three types of Missouri Execution For Possession of Premises For Non-Payment of Rent (Landlord-Tenant Actions) are Summary Possession, Formal Possession, and Removing Tenant's Property. Summary Possession is an expedited process in which a landlord can regain possession of the premises without the need for a court hearing. The landlord must file a petition with the court and serve the tenant with a notice of hearing. The tenant then has 3 days to vacate the premises. If the tenant does not vacate, the landlord can apply for a writ of execution from the court. The writ of execution authorizes a sheriff to physically remove the tenant from the premises. Formal Possession is a more formal process that requires a court hearing. The landlord must file a petition with the court and serve the tenant with a notice of hearing. At the hearing, the court will determine if the tenant has failed to make rent payments. If the court finds that the tenant has failed to make rent payments, the court will issue a writ of possession. The writ of possession authorizes a sheriff to physically remove the tenant from the premises. Removing Tenant's Property allows the landlord to remove and store the tenant's personal property from the premises. The landlord must serve the tenant with a notice of removal and storage. The tenant then has 14 days to reclaim their property, or it will be sold or otherwise disposed of. In all cases, the landlord must follow all state and local laws governing landlord-tenant relations.
