In Woodbury, the Supreme Court held that where the person in possession “holds otherwise than through the record owner ... the purchaser from the record owner is charged with such knowledge as can be obtained by reasonable inquiry from the possessor.” Woodbury, 166 S.W.2d at 555. In Woodbury, a purchaser acquired an apartment building from an individual who allegedly had defective title because he used funds from an estate in which he was the executor to purchase the property individually. The court held that the purchaser of the apartment building was an innocent holder for value. without notice and had no duty to inquire of the tenants of the apartment building as to defects in the owner’s record title. It was in this factual context of a tenant in possession holding otherwise than through the record owner that the Woodbury court stated that “if the rights of the tenant himself are involved, it is incumbent on the purchaser to inspect the lease, if in writing, or to make inquiry of both the landlord and the tenant if the lease is verbal.” Id. The Woodbury court discussed Langford v. Welton, 48 S.W.2d 860 (Mo.1932) and other cases relied on by the appellant as authority for charging the purchaser with such knowledge as can be obtained by reasonable inquiry from the possessor. The court noted that these cases dealt either with situations where the person in actual possession of the real estate held possession adversely to the holder of the record title or had constructive knowledge derived from recorded instruments. In contrast, in the instant case, record title was not at issue, and the tenant in possession held through the record owner, not “otherwise than through the record owner” as in Woodbury. “Possession of real property as tenants of the holder of the record title is not notice of any right other than a right to occupy as tenants.” Woodbury, 166 S.W.2d at 556.
