Eviction Advice in Missouri

[Allison Moon]

My husband and I bought two triplexes in Columbia, Missouri. The tenants have paid rent every month, but are very hard on the properties. I have been here making repairs for the past couple weeks and one of the tenants is smoking marijuana constantly with a 2 year old girl in the unit.  I will be calling CPS. He has been yelling non-step, aggressively, promptly after I nicely requested he stop yelling and explained how disruptive it was for the other tenants. They have dogs and are not picking up the feces. I plan to submit letters to each tenant with photos I have taken documenting lease violations. After dealing with said patterns of behavior, my husband and I would like to proceed with eviction/not renewing their leases when the come due in June.  Thankfully we have one tenant this is on month to month that we can transition out with 30 days notice. Our goal is to move all the tenants out (which I forsee will be like pulling teeth), remodel and transition into a short term rental model.  Hoping for ideas, recommendations and knowledge on the eviction process in Missouri.  Thank you!
