Plaintiffs rely strongly on the recent opinion of the Supreme Court of Missouri in Bedell v. Daugherty, Mo.Sup., 242 S.W. 2d 572. In that case the plaintiff sued for $10,000 damages for wrongful, constructive eviction, on the ground that the defendant landlord had fraudulently and maliciously procured from the federal rent director a certificate for self-occupancy when he did not intend to occupy the premises and did not do so, and by reason of such fraudulent acts induced the plaintiff to vacate and to expend and become obligated to pay large sums to buy another house and to equip and furnish the same. The Supreme Court ruled that the petition stated a cause of action for fraud and deceit.
