Plaintiff claims the court committed error in ruling that the lease was a personal obligation and therefore the death of the lessee terminated the lease contract; thus leaving the decedent’s estate not liable for rent accruing during the remainder of the term. Defendants argue the accuracy of the Circuit Court’s ruling; but raised the affirmative defense that if the lease is binding on Mrs. Church’s estate then the landlord was prohibited from receiving such damages as might have been avoided by reasonable efforts. Whitehorn v. Dickerson, 419 S.W.2d 713 (Mo.App.1967).
