383.010 Recovery of rent -- Interest -- Persons entitled to and liable for.

(1) Rent may be recovered by distress, attachment or action, and shall bear six percent

(6%) interest per annum from the time it is due.

(2) If the owner or holder alienates or assigns his estate, term or the rent thereafter to

fall due thereon, the alienee or assignee may recover the rent that falls due

thereafter.

(3) The personal representative of a person to whom any rent was due and unpaid at the

time of his death shall have the same remedy by action or by distress, for the

recovery of the arrears of such rent, that the decedent would have had if living.

(4) A person entitled to rents depending upon the life of another may, notwithstanding

the death of the latter, have the same remedy, by action or distress, for the rents in

arrears, as he might have had if such person were living.

(5) Rent may be recovered from the lessee or other person owing it, or his assignee or

undertenant, or the representative of either by any of the remedies given in this

chapter. But, the assignee or subtenant shall be liable only for the rent accrued after

his interest began.

(6) The same remedies to recover arrearages of rent due on a lease for life or lives shall

be allowed as if the lease were for years.
