Montana HB444 revises tenant-landlord laws, allowing landlords to return security deposits electronically and to provide notices via email.
Montana HB444 amends tenant-landlord laws to allow landlords to return security deposits electronically and to provide notices via email. The bill mandates that landlords must provide tenants with a written list of any rent due and any damage and cleaning charges within 30 days of tenancy termination or surrender. Cleaning charges cannot be imposed for normal maintenance unless the landlord is forced to perform this maintenance due to tenant negligence. The bill also allows landlords to provide notice of cleaning requirements via email, phone, or text.
