After remand, defendants filed a motion to dismiss Counts I, II, IV and V, with prejudice, on the grounds that § 535.300 provides the exclusive remedy for wrongful failure to return a security deposit. The trial court sustained the defendants’ motion and subsequently dismissed Count III, without prejudice, for failure to prosecute the action. PESI appeals the dismissal of Counts I, II, IV and V. PESI argues that the legislature did not intend to bar claims that are ancillary and unrelated to the wrongful withholding of a security deposit and that § 535.300 does not apply to PESI because of its corporate status.
