645 charsKimack’s first issue on appeal contends that Owners are not entitled to retain the prepaid rent. We disagree. Upon default of a tenant, the landlord has three options: (1) to remain out of possession, treating the term as subsisting and to recover rent; (2) give notice to the tenant, take possession and attempt to mitigate damages with the tenant being held liable for the loss; or (3) resume possession without notice and terminate the lease. Babcock v. Rieger, 76 S.W.2d 731, 735 (Mo.App.1934). While this case is not “a default of rental payments case” as is Babcock, the principal is applicable to the factual circumstances of this appeal.
