A Montana-compliant lease with every disclosure the state requires built in, not bolted on — 4 state-specific clauses plus 11 universal ones. Fill it in, e-sign it, and it lives with the tenant record.
Montana splits its deposit deadline in two: 10 days when nothing is deducted, 30 days when the landlord keeps any part of it (MCA § 70-25-202). Unpaid rent triggers a 3-day notice, and landlords need 24 hours’ notice to enter.
These are the clauses and disclosures our Montana template carries. Each cites the statute it comes from; the ones marked checkbox are filled from your property's answers.
