Missouri follows the majority rule that compensation shall be given for such loss as may be the natural and direct consequences of the breach. Hamilton made expenditures in advance to enable him to have the enjoyment of the leased premises. These expenditures included the costs of moving to the leased premises. Hamilton Music’s petition sought recovery for moving costs in the amount of $2,640. Wee Too should have reasonably foreseen that these expenses would be incurred by Hamilton Music in order to occupy the premises. We find the trial court properly included this expense in its damage award.
