Eviction process?

Question

I purchased a property that was foreclosed on and had a DIP in the property. We never had a lease. She agreed to pay and did for a couple months. A month ago I gave here verbal notice to vacate the property. Because of willful neglect of the property. Said she needed 30-days. She has since changed her mind and has decided to stay. What are the actual steps? I have already pulled Missouri law 441.060. Seems like a written notice is in order, does an officer need to be present or to serve her with the notice.

Answer 1

I could post this whole message here but it is pretty long. Here is a step by step process for eviction. It even has conditions and etc.

I also found this:
If the summons was only posted on your property (not hand-delivered to you or your family by a process server), your landlord may only be able to get a judgment for "possession," but no rent. Possession means possession of the apartment or house, not your property.
It said that you can have the Sherrif deliver the summons (for a fee)
Have a Lawyer do it
Or a regular person not having anything to do with the case

But the point is, you need to evict through a court notice and it must be handed to the person.

best of luck

Answer 2

only you have to give the first notice then
you have the sheriffs office serve for the eviction

1. a leagal purpose for eviction
2. notice to the tenant
3. a trial before a judge
4. an order of eviction
