& Flood represent landlords, property managers, and owner's agents in litigation to enforce the lessor's rights under a residential lease or rental agreement. We also advise landlords about the tenant intake screening process, notices of unpaid rent and service of process, and the terms of their lease forms.

At Van Dillen & Flood, we have integrated high-tech case management software systems into every aspect of our practice. This allows us to handle a high-volume litigation caseload on affordable terms to our clients and with outstanding results. Our software support also enables us to keep you advised of the precise progress of your case both on a regular basis and whenever you happen to call us with a question.
We can help landlords of any scale with the following recurrent problems:
- Sending out eviction notices at the right times with the correct language
- Suits for possession, unlawful detainers, and other eviction proceedings involving houses, apartments, or other residential rental properties
- Effective service of process, even in the most difficult cases
- Enforcement of lease terms and conditions with respect to occupancy, maintenance, parking, noise, pets, and other matters
- Defense of tenant claims or counterclaims relating to habitability issues or code violations, including cases involving withheld rent
- Commercial lease disputes
- Collection of unpaid rent debts and judgments
- Enforcement of leases in bankruptcy court, including relief from the automatic stay
- Appeals of adverse judgments
Our Missouri landlord-tenant attorneys can also review your rental forms and practices to make sure that your background screening and tenant intake processes serve your business objectives, and that all of your lease and notice forms are current and enforceable. If you have any extensive experience in residential rentals or property management, you probably know what it's like to have your suit for possession dismissed for a technical flaw in notice, service, timing, or pleading. We can help make sure that it's very unlikely to ever happen again.
While each of our partners has decades of experience with the enforcement of residential and commercial rental property agreements, Patricia Flood enjoys an especially strong reputation for her work in this area. She has written and updated standard treatises on residential and commercial eviction practice under Missouri Law.
