Cal. Civ. Code § 213.095
Any person who shall willfully violate an order of the commission shall be guilty of a class C misdemeanor.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Missouri Revised Statutes § 213.095 establishes that willfully disobeying a formal order issued by the Missouri Commission on Human Rights is a criminal offense classified as a class C misdemeanor. The provision applies to any person subject to such an order, meaning the criminal exposure is not limited to landlords alone. A class C misdemeanor in Missouri can carry fines and, in some cases, jail time under the state's general criminal sentencing framework.

For Property Managers

Under Mo. Rev. Stat. § 213.095, property owners and managers who have been issued an order by the Missouri Commission on Human Rights are expected to comply fully and promptly with its terms. Operators who document their compliance efforts—such as policy changes, training records, and corrective actions—generally demonstrate good faith adherence to commission directives. Willful noncompliance with a commission order exposes a landlord to criminal misdemeanor liability, separate from any civil remedies the commission may also pursue.

General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.

For Tenants

Mo. Rev. Stat. § 213.095 provides a criminal enforcement backstop for tenants who have already obtained a favorable order from the Missouri Commission on Human Rights and find that the other party is ignoring it. If a landlord or other party willfully refuses to comply with a commission order, that conduct may constitute a class C misdemeanor, which tenants or their advocates can bring to the attention of the commission or local prosecutors. Tenants navigating this situation may benefit from consulting a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Missouri human rights enforcement procedures.
