HCS/HB 1410 - This act removes landlord tenant, unlawful detainer, and forcible entry and detainer actions from the list of actions in which an aggrieved party must apply for a trial de novo for redress. The act provides that such actions are appealable. Application for such appeals shall be conducted as provided by the Missouri Rules of Civil Procedure, rather than Chapter 512 which provides procedures for an appeal and a trial de novo in civil cases. Forcible entry and detainer and unlawful detainer actions must be heard on the record, and the practice and procedures for civil cases originally filed before an associate circuit judge as provided in Chapter 517 shall apply to such actions. Current law provides that the sheriff must attempt to serve any summons within four days of the date of issuance by a Jackson County landlord-tenant court. The act removes the language which requires the sheriff to be the person to serve the summons. This act is similar to SB 886 (2014). JESSICA BAKER
