1,013 chars*357Absent an express provision in the lease agreement, there is no implied obligation on the part of the lessee to insure the demised premises. Mitchell v. K.C. Stadium Concessions, Inc., 865 S.W.2d 779, 784 (Mo.App.W.D.1993). In Mitchell, the lease required the lessee to maintain insurance “to cover the payment of rent to lessor during any period hereunder in which the premises are untenantable and lessee is unable to conduct its normal business activities.” Id. In contrast, the lease provision at issue does not require either that insurance coverage extend to the total destruction of the building or that lessee maintain the coverage for the benefit of lessor. The word “interior” in the lease agreement is not ambiguous and encompasses only the interior of the building and its contents.1 The lease provision does not obligate lessee to provide insurance coverage for the entire building. Lessor’s second point is denied. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed. CRANE, P.J., and CRIST, J., concur.
