  Since the enactment of section 535.300 in 1983, the Supreme Court of Missouri has addressed the common
understanding of the “ordinary meaning” attached to the phrase “ordinary wear and tear” observing:
         “‘Ordinary wear and tear’ includes any usual deterioration from use of the premises during the
         lease period[.]” 49 AM.JUR.2D, LANDLORD AND TENANT Section 893. It means “normal
         depreciation.” Id. See also BLACK'S LAW DICTIONARY 1593 (6th ed. 1990) (“‘Natural wear and
         tear’ means deterioration or depreciation in value by ordinary and reasonable use of the subject
         matter.”).
