Cal. Civ. Code § 441.860
Remedies cumulative
Operative Text
The remedies authorized by sections 441.710 to 441.880 shall be cumulative with each other and shall be in addition to, not in lieu of, any other remedies available at law or in equity.
Missouri Revised Statutes § 441.860 establishes that the remedies created under the state's landlord-tenant statutes (sections 441.710 through 441.880) do not replace or cancel out any other legal remedies that might otherwise be available. Instead, these statutory remedies stack on top of common law and equitable remedies, meaning a party is not forced to choose one avenue over another. This provision preserves the full range of legal options that existed before or outside of this statutory scheme.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Mo. Rev. Stat. § 441.860, property owners and managers should understand that pursuing a remedy provided by sections 441.710–441.880 does not foreclose other legal or equitable claims they may have. Compliant operators typically document all relevant facts and violations thoroughly, since multiple legal theories may be pursued simultaneously. Consulting with a licensed Missouri attorney can help clarify which combination of remedies applies to a given set of circumstances.

Mo. Rev. Stat. § 441.860 means that tenants are not limited to only the remedies spelled out in sections 441.710–441.880 — other legal and equitable remedies remain available as well. This cumulative structure can be relevant when raising a violation as a defense or pursuing a complaint, since it preserves options beyond the statutory framework. Tenants seeking to understand which remedies may apply to their situation can reach out to a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office for general guidance.
