Rather, the recognition of an implied warranty of habitability marked a change from Missouri's previous application of caveat *288emptor. King , 495 S.W.2d at 69. In recognizing the implied warranty of habitability, Missouri courts acknowledged a shift in the common law from a landlord's unfettered right to rent and possession toward recognition of a bilateral contract in which the tenant's obligation to pay rent is dependent on the landlord's performance of the obligation to provide a habitable dwelling. Id. It is not surprising, therefore, that, in the course of that transition, the court of appeals discussed the in custodia legis procedure, which undoubtedly reserved some remnants of protection for the landlord. But the fact remains such a procedure had no basis in present property law or contract principles.
