Legislation that Makes Sense

Working together in meetings held over two years with stakeholders representing tenant interests and in close conjunction with Missoula Attorney Klaus Sitte, legislation was drafted, promoted and adopted by lawmakers which became the "Montana Residential Landlord and Tenant Act of 1977" (MCA 70.24) and the "Tenant Security Deposit Act of 1978" (MCA 70.25), the laws which currently govern the Landlord/Tenant relationship in Montana.

The MLA employs a state legislative lobbyist and holds its Annual Meeting in Helena each spring. The adoption of MCA 70.24 and MCA 70.25, together with applicable Federal Laws, create a need that the MLA has been responding to for more than a quarter century, informing especially its Regular Members who are not Landlords by profession.

Meet and socialize with other landlords in your area; improve your management skills; learn how to keep your vacancy factor as low as possible; learn valuable tips about repairs, maintenance, and recommended local vendors. Monthly meetings are also a forum where you can become an active participant in solving problems that affect the residential rental industry in your hometown or statewide.

We have been a member of the MLA for years. We appreciate not only the variety of forms available for use, but the legislative updates and knowing that the forms are updated as the laws change. Most impactful, however, has been the personal one-on-one assistance available from the local chapter, and the MLA president.
