HB810

Revise tenant landlord laws

Complete·6/9/25

Montana HB810 revises tenant-landlord laws, specifying acceptable rent payment forms and prohibiting additional fees based on payment type.

Montana HB810 amends tenant-landlord laws by specifying acceptable forms of rent payment, including cash, check, electronic, and other agreed forms. It prohibits landlords from charging additional fees based on the type of rent payment, except to recoup an electronic bank fee for electronic payments. The bill also provides definitions for terms such as "rent payment type," "tenant," and "premises." These changes aim to clarify and regulate the payment process and protect tenants from unfair charges.
