Plaintiffs' petition states that on or about October 1, 1949, they rented from defendants a certain dwelling in Kansas City for the period beginning November 1, 1949, and ending November 1, 1950, and as rental therefor paid to defendants $1800 in advance; that under the regulations of the National Housing Act then affecting said premises, the maximum rent therefor was $60 a month; that plaintiffs at that time did not know the amount of rental that could lawfully be charged for said premises; that defendants maliciously, willfully and unlawfully failed so to inform the plaintiffs and led them to believe the rental so paid was lawful; that plaintiffs believed and relied on defendants' representations that the rental so charged was lawful and by reason of said fraudulent representations plaintiffs have been damaged in the sum of $1080 actual damages, and are entitled to $3000 punitive damages, a total of $4080, for which the plaintiffs pray judgment.
