Mays v. Hodges

Missouri Court of Appeals

Decided November 12, 2008No. SD 28600Published

1Opinion of the Court

GARY W. LYNCH, Chief Judge.

Jeff Hodges (“Defendant”) appeals the trial court’s judgment against him and in favor of Larry Mays (“Plaintiff”) in the amount of $2,673.32 for past-due rent. Defendant challenges the judgment in three points: (1) he was not the tenant under the rental agreement; (2) any ambiguity as to the tenant’s identity should be construed against Plaintiff as the drafter; and (3) there was substantial and credible evidence that the past-due rent had been paid. Finding no merit in any of Defendant’s points, we affirm.
