Here, the associate circuit judge found a landlord-tenant relationship between appellants and respondents, and therefore refused to dismiss the case pursuant to RSMo § 534.300. This finding was not erroneous. Respondents provided, via the two lease agreements, substantial evidence that appellants occupied the premises as tenants at will. Where a party occupies property under a lease with an option to buy, that party becomes a tenant at will upon the expiration of the option. See Powell v. Plank, 141 Mo.App. 406, 125 S.W. 836, 839 (Spfld.1910).
