The issue on this appeal is whether the damages awarded will stand. First and foremost, the punitive damage’s award must be set aside. It has been held that such an award is not allowable even if the eviction was wrongful, if such eviction was provoked or the opportunity therefor was upon the tenant’s failure to pay rent. Bryan v. Vaughn, 579 S.W.2d 177, 182 (Mo.App.1979). The $1,000 punitive damage’s award is held to be void and therefore set aside.
