Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Missouri

My daughter and 6 yr.old grandaughter were evicted because the landlord said she violated one of the rules and the septic system backed up into a vacant unit that he had just remodeled and ruined the new carpet. He said it was her because there was a feminine product in there and she's the only one could have done it ,as other tenants ate 2 older women and a single man (landlords son). He evicted her and said he is suing her for 4,000.00 for damages. Doesn't he have to prove without a doubt that it was her?

He would have to prove it by a preponderance of the evidence. That means more likely than not.

Good luck
