Missouri Right to cure / redeem

Right to cure / redeem in Missouri

In a rent-and-possession case, if the tenant pays or brings into court all rent in arrears plus all costs on the date a money judgment is entered, the case stops. Paying the judgment and costs after trial but before the judgment becomes final stays the eviction. Code text: "all the rent then in arrears, and all the costs, further proceedings in the action shall cease and be stayed."
