Plaintiffs take the novel position that they can and did avail themselves of a landlord's liability created by the provisions of the Act quoted, but that they are not bound by the one year limitation prescribed in the same statute for the bringing of an action to recover on such liability. They contend that having stated a cause of action containing all the elements required to recover actual and punitive damages on the basis of fraud and malice, they are bound only by the statute of limitations of Missouri, Section 516.120, RSMo 1949, V.A.M.S., wherein it is provided that actions for relief on the ground of fraud accrue upon discovery of the fraud by the aggrieved party, and that the suit may be brought thereon within five years thereafter.
