Chapter 535, RSMo.1969, is entitled “Landlord-Tenant Actions in Magistrate Court.” The chapter contains provisions for a summary procedure available to landlords to obtain a judgment for delinquent rent and for possession of the rented premises. The first section of the chapter, § 535.010, establishes that “it shall be lawful for the landlord to dispossess the tenant and all subtenants ... in the manner herein provided.” Note that this section does not mention “all persons occupying the premises” as is true of §§ 535.020 and 535.-040. For recovery to be had in a suit for rent and possession under § 535.020 a landlord and tenant relationship must be shown. Davis v. Bradford,
