Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““As to the right to possession, the evidence of plaintiffs (which was believed by the trier of facts) clearly established a tenancy for a specific period of two months. At the end of such two months period, defendants’ right to possession of the apartment ceased by the terms of the agreement. Under such circumstances, Section 441.070, R.S.Mo.1969, V.A.M.S., provides that no notice to quit shall be required. This statute reads: “No notice to quit shall be necessary from or to a tenant whose term is to end at a certain time * * *” This statutory provision is clearly applicable to the case at bar. . Defendants’ term ended at the end of the two month period without any notice from plaintiffs and as of that time, plaintiffs were entitled to possession of the apartment. Under such circumstances, defendants are guilty of unlawful detainer, see Section 534.030, R.S.Mo.1969, V.A.M.S., and plaintiffs are entitled to judgment for possession and double rent. Section 534.330, R.S.Mo.1969, V.A.M.S.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““[T]he defendants ignore the fact that this was a court tried case. Civil Rule 78.01 ... specifically provides as to such cases that: ‘On a motion for a new trial in an action tried without a jury, the court may open the judgment if one has been entered, take additional testimony, amend findings of fact or make new findings, and direct the entry of a new judgment.’ The action of the trial court in the case at bar was in strict compliance with this provision of the rule, [citations omitted] We, therefore, hold that such action was proper; that the evidence heard was properly considered by the trial court in determining the rental value of the premises and is sufficient to support this aspect of the judgment.” 466 S.W.2d at 135 [1].”
