Cal. Civ. Code § 441.830
Court authorized to grant preliminary relief to parties in certain eviction proceedings
Operative Text
Pursuant to section 441.740, the court may issue restraining orders or grant whatever preliminary relief is necessary to either prevent the commission of drug-related criminal activity on or in the immediate vicinity of the leased premises, or to protect the rights and interests of the parties or those residing in the immediate vicinity of where the premises are located.
Missouri Revised Statutes § 441.830 authorizes a court, in connection with certain eviction proceedings under § 441.740, to issue restraining orders or other preliminary relief. This relief can be directed at stopping drug-related criminal activity on or near the leased property, or at protecting the rights and interests of the parties involved and neighboring residents. The provision gives courts broad discretion to act before a final ruling is reached in qualifying cases.

Under Mo. Rev. Stat. § 441.830, property owners involved in drug-related eviction proceedings under § 441.740 may have access to court-ordered preliminary relief while a case is pending. Compliant operators generally document evidence of drug-related activity on or near the premises and bring it to the court's attention through proper legal channels. Understanding that courts can issue restraining orders or other interim measures may factor into how landlords approach these proceedings.
