Montana Lead-Based Paint Disclosure

This Lead-Based Paint Disclosure is built with Montana as the governing state. These are the Montana landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.

Landlord entry & access

A Montana tenant may not unreasonably refuse entry to inspect, make repairs or improvements, supply services, or show the unit to buyers, lenders, tenants or contractors. Except in an emergency or where it is impracticable, the landlord must give at least 24 hours’ notice of the intent to enter and may enter only at reasonable times; the notice may be conspicuously posted on the unit’s main entry door (§70-24-312(3)).

The landlord may enter without consent in an emergency, but may not abuse the right of access or use it to harass the tenant. Beyond that, entry requires a court order or an abandoned or surrendered unit. A tenant may not change the locks without permission and must provide keys to any lock they install (§70-24-312).

Required disclosures in Montana

  • Owner & manager — At or before move-in, the landlord must give the tenant in writing the name and address of the property manager and of the owner or the owner’s agent for service of process and notices, and keep it current (§70-24-301).
  • Move-in condition statement — A landlord who takes a security deposit must give the tenant, when the lease is signed, a separate signed written statement of the unit’s present condition (or that it has never been rented before). Without it, the landlord can’t recover for damage or cleaning unless it proves by clear and convincing evidence that the tenant caused it (§70-25-206).
  • Mold — A landlord who knows mold is present must disclose it before or when the lease is signed. Providing the statutory mold disclosure statement and disclosing known mold and prior testing shields the landlord from mold-based liability (§70-16-703).
  • Smoke & CO detectors — Approved smoke and carbon monoxide detectors must be installed and working when the tenancy begins; the tenant maintains them during the tenancy (§70-24-303(1)(g)).
  • Lead-based paint — Federal law requires the lead warning, EPA pamphlet and known-hazard disclosure for housing built before 1978 (42 U.S.C. §4852d).
