Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Aug 19, 2025
Body Treats Etc., LLC, Respondent, vs. Matt Tarrillion, Appellant.
Matt Tarrillion appealed a trial court's judgment in favor of Body Treats Etc., LLC, in an unlawful detainer action. Body Treats claimed Tarrillion was a month-to-month sublessee, while Tarrillion argued he was a co-tenant under a written lease. The appellate court denied Body Treats' motion to dismiss for mootness and reversed the trial court's judgment, finding that the written lease clearly established Tarrillion as a co-tenant with equal rights to possession, making the unlawful detainer judgment against the weight of the evidence.
