Online Submission of New Landlord-Tenant Case
Coronavirus/COVID-19 Notice
Because of the pandemic, the Boone County Circuit Court has taken the following actions that affect eviction cases:
- First appearances and trials in cases pending before March 16 have been rescheduled in late April and early May.
- First appearances in new cases accepted by the court on/after March 16 through March 20 have been scheduled in May – about a three- to four-week delay from normal.
- After March 20 we can continue to file new cases, but they will not be processed by the court and no summonses will be issued until after April 17 – this likely will result in first appearances being set in mid-May.
- The Boone County Sheriff’s Department has been directed not to serve summonses and subpoenas until after April 17.
- For cases in which eviction orders have been issued to the sheriff but not yet enforced, enforcement is suspended until after April 17.
- No new eviction orders to the sheriff will be issued until after April 17.
- The court may order further delays “…as circumstances may warrant.”
Some other jurisdictions around the country have suspended rent payments and/or mortgage payments altogether, but so far that has not happened in Missouri.
