The issue of the notice of demand here was decided by this court in Southside National Bank, etc., v. Schneider, 603 S.W.2d 25 (Mo.App.1980), in an opinion authorized by Judge James Reinhard which provides an excellent analysis of the notice requirement in an unlawful detainer action. In Southside National Bank, etc., supra, a lease was terminated by registered mail and the tenant then became a holdover tenant. The court held that a tenant who remains in possession after the termination of the time for which premises were demised or let to him becomes a holdover tenant and is subject to a suit for unlawful detainer without any demand in writing for delivery of possession. Southside National Bank, etc., supra, 26-27. See also Young v. Smith, 28 Mo. 65, 68 (1859).
