A Montana month-to-month lease agreement is a flexible rental option that works well for both new tenants and first-time landlords. With no fixed end date, it renews monthly and can be ended at any time with proper notice. Whether you’re settling into a new area or testing the waters as a landlord, this type of agreement offers convenience without long-term commitment.

Required Landlord Disclosures (5)
State law requires landlords to disclose the following information to Montana tenants when they move into a rental unit.
1. Lead paint: Federal law requires landlords to disclose to tenants the knowledge or existence of lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards in all units built before 1978.
2. Mold: All leases in Montana must have a clause explaining that the landlord is unaware of the presence of mold on the property (§ 70-16-702).
3. Landlord contact information: State law requires Montana landlords to list their name and address clearly in the lease agreement. If the landlord’s contact information changes, they must notify the tenant as soon as possible (§ 70-24-301).
4. Methamphetamine: Montana landlords must notify tenants of meth contamination in a property until a professional cleans it (§ 75-10-1305).
5. Move-in checklist: When a tenant moves into the rental unit, landlords must give them a move-in checklist to document the present condition of the unit (§ 70-25-206).
TurboTenant provides each of these disclosures with every lease agreement.
Required Notice to Terminate Month-to-Month Agreement
Landlords can change the terms of a Montana month-to-month lease agreement by providing written notice at least 15 days before the change goes into effect. To terminate the lease, however, both parties must give at least 30 days’ notice (§ 70-24-441).
Required notice for landlord: 30 days
Required notice for tenant: 30 days
Rent Increase Laws
Montana does not have statewide rent control. Landlords can increase the rent as they see fit on a month-to-month lease. Technically, a change to a month-to-month lease can go into effect with 15 days’ written notice (§ 70-26-109), potentially affecting rent increases. However, another Montana law (§ 70-24-311) suggests that any substantial change to the “rules” of the rental requires 30 days’ notice, which some legal experts say includes rent increases.
