Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a written lease agreement in Montana?

While oral agreements may be enforceable for short-term leases, Montana law strongly favors written lease agreements.

Montana requires landlords to include specific disclosures such as Lead paint disclosure (federal, pre-1978 housing) and Move-in condition checklist: landlord must provide written statement of condition of premises at commencement of tenancy (Mont. Code Ann. § 70-25-206), which must be in writing.

What are Montana's security deposit rules?

In Montana, there is no statutory limit on security deposits. Landlords must return the deposit within 30 days after the tenancy ends. Interest on security deposits is not required. Deductions must be itemized in writing.
