Cal. Civ. Code § 407.050
Evidence, when and where produced
Operative Text
Documentary material, information, or physical evidence demanded pursuant to the provisions of sections 407.010 to 407.130 shall be produced during normal business hours at the principal office or place of business of the person served, or at such other times and places as may be agreed upon by the person served and the attorney general.
Under Mo. Rev. Stat. § 407.050, when the Missouri Attorney General issues a demand for documents, information, or physical evidence under the state's consumer protection statutes (§§ 407.010–407.130), the material must be made available during normal business hours at the responding party's principal office or place of business. Alternatively, the responding party and the Attorney General may mutually agree on a different time or location for production. This provision governs the logistics of how and where demanded evidence is delivered, not whether it must be delivered.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers who receive a documentary demand from the Missouri Attorney General under §§ 407.010–407.130 should be aware that § 407.050 sets the default production location as the business's principal office during normal business hours. Compliant operators typically ensure that requested records are organized and accessible at that location, or they coordinate directly with the Attorney General's office to arrange an alternative time and place. Keeping clear records of any agreed-upon scheduling changes is a common practice among operators navigating this process.

Section 407.050 is part of Missouri's consumer protection framework (§§ 407.005–407.145), which empowers the Attorney General to investigate potential violations that may affect tenants and other consumers. While this provision primarily governs how businesses respond to official evidence demands, tenants who believe a landlord has engaged in deceptive or unlawful practices may find it relevant that the Attorney General has investigative tools available. Tenants can contact the Missouri Attorney General's consumer protection office or a local tenant-rights organization to learn more about how these investigative powers might apply to their circumstances.
