    Default Eviction After Landlord Is Ordered To Make Repairs

    state of missouri
    home was being inspected by hudd and repairs needed in order to continue receiving assisstance so they notified the landlords. No repairs were made so hudd stopped paying. I have been waiting on repairs in order to qualify for asssisstance for 3 months. (note* landlords are burdened with repairs...it took 6 days for them to fix water heater!) landlords came to collect rent saying i owed x amt, i mailed next day, they never received. days later i appologized for inconveineince and wrote another check only to recieve a letter notifying me of $5 a day late payment fee and i have to be out in 30 days if not paid. regardless of hudd, Can they evict me if im still waiting for them to repair ?

    Part of your question was answered in your other thread. A landlord can terminate a tenancy either by ending a periodic tenancy or (absent a right to renew) at the conclusion of a lease.

    As for nonpayment of rent, if you don't pay your rent you can be evicted. Some states may permit "repair and deduct" or escrow remedies pending repairs, but it doesn't sound like your delinquency relates to such self-help measures. It's just a late fee, right?
