Appellants next assert that Respondents waived their right to forfeit the leasehold interest because, at various times, they accepted rent after the date on which it was due. Where there is no express declaration of waiver, there must be a clear, unequivocal, and decisive act showing waiver implied by conduct. Lucas Hunt Village Co. v. Klein, 358 Mo. 1054, 218 S.W.2d 595, 599 (Mo. banc 1949); Spencer’s River Roads Bowling Lanes, Inc. v. Unico Management Company, 615 S.W.2d 121, 125 (Mo.App. E.D.1981). The implied waiver must be so indicative of an intention to waive that no other reasonable explanation is possible. Id. We find no clear, unequivocal, and decisive act of Respondents showing an intention to waive the forfeiture.
