Introduced Text

Montana SB389 mandates self-storage facility operators to mitigate damages when renters vacate early.

Montana SB389 requires operators of self-storage facilities to take action to reduce damages if a renter leaves their leased space before the lease term ends. This duty to mitigate damages is a new legal obligation for facility operators. The bill aims to ensure that operators make reasonable efforts to re-lease the vacated space or otherwise minimize financial losses. The provisions are intended to be integrated into existing laws under Title 70, chapter 6, part 6.
