FENTON, Mo. – Hannah McGee said her landlord took off her front door because she was two months late on rent. An attorney with Legal Services of Eastern Missouri said that violates a state statute.
McGee said she lost her restaurant job due to COVID and is two months late on paying her rent, totaling $1,000 owed to her landlord. She said she’s lived in her same Fenton apartment for three years without any issues and her mom has rented the apartment next door for the last 13 years.
“He’s always been a good landlord. I guess it just took one slip up,” McGee said. “I’ve lived here without a problem, no incidents whatsoever, I’ve been on time every month, but since COVID happened, I lost my job, I was working in a restaurant.”
