Apartment lease expiration terms
In Missouri if your apartment lease specifically states automatic renewal after the 1st term are you legally bound for another year or can you lease on a month to month basis as long as you did provide the landlord with notice that you not wish to extend your lease.

Unfair collection after leaving month to month lease
Several years ago we were asked to pay or leave our apartment by the new owners when we couldn’t pay rent. We should have gotten that in writing but, we left a note that we decided to leave. We were on a month to month with the previous owners and never signed a lease with the new owner. We received a collection notice that we owed for nine months plus cleaning fees and collection charges. I called the collectors and said it was illegal to charge that much and our security deposit hadn’t been applied either. They agreed and wanted a lump sum amount but cut contact.

Now a credit report shows a collection amount of 5388.75 and the collectors respond that it is legal for them to report this amount even if not correct unless it went to court because we signed a lease until 2000. We never signed a lease with this new owner and when I asked for a copy of the lease I received only a tenant payment ledger with a three-year gap that jumped from the deposit in 96 straight to the takeover date in 1999. They don’t have a lease and that they didn’t use our security deposit toward any of this. Now they say they will sue for the entire amount of $5388.75 if we don’t give them $800 by November 30th. What can we do in this situation?

Eviction proceedings for property damage
We had a small gathering at our apartment which we rent month to month and someone broke a whole in the door. Now we are getting evicted for damaging the property. What kind of notice should we legally recieve for the date of eviction?

I had a contract for Deed and a certified survey sheet was attached to Contract. After 8 months of paying on contract the seller drew lines across the survey sheet and cut off my acess to road. Now after paying off the contract he wants me to pay more money for acess to road. He has made up a Deed that does not describe the property as the description on the survey sheet reads.
Can he legaly do this to me?
