MO tenant & lease bonds.
Flat 3%. Enter your amount.
A court bond posted in a Missouri landlord-tenant case — most often the bond a tenant files to stay possession on appeal of a rent-and-possession or unlawful-detainer judgment under RSMo Chapters 534–535. The court sets the amount; we issue it at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually does
Missouri handles landlord-tenant disputes through two statutory tracks: rent and possession (RSMo Chapter 535) and unlawful detainer (RSMo Chapter 534). When a judgment for possession is entered, the losing party can appeal — but to remain in the premises during the appeal, the statute requires a bond.
On a possession appeal, the bond is generally set at the amount of the judgment plus rent owed since the judgment plus court costs, and rent that accrues during the appeal is typically paid into the court as it comes due. The bond protects the prevailing party against the loss they would suffer if the appeal fails and they were kept out of their property.
The court sets the exact figure. We issue the bond in that amount at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull — fast, because these filings run on a court clock, and at the same honest price as every bond we write. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
