Montana HB501 provides a legal process for removing unauthorized occupants from residential properties.

Montana HB501 allows residential property owners to request law enforcement to remove unauthorized occupants. The owner must submit a written complaint to local law enforcement, detailing that the occupant unlawfully resides on the property, has been asked to leave, and has not done so. The owner must also verify they are the legal owner or authorized agent, and that there is no pending litigation or public access to the property. Law enforcement must serve a notice to vacate within 24 hours.
