PRITCHARD, Judge.
This case was begun by respondent by its filing of its petition on November 12, 1982, for rent and possession of an apartment rented to appellants at 10500 East 42nd Street, Kansas City, Missouri, in the Associate Circuit Court. After trial, a judgment for restitution of the premises and for $1,625.00 rent, plus rent at $325.00 per month until restitution was made, was entered. An application for trial de novo was filed in the circuit court, but that court remanded the case to the associate circuit court because its judgment had not disposed of the claim against co-defendant, the respondent Minnie Henry. On February 28, 1983, the associate circuit court, upon the agreement and stipulation of both counsel, entered a new judgment against both appellants to include rent accrued since the date of the original judgment in the total amount of $2,275.00. It was further stipulated that appellants were still in possession of the premises. Appellants again timely filed their application for trial de novo.
