For Property Managers

Under Mont. Admin. R. 37.111.336, compliant lodging operators maintain a regular housekeeping schedule that meets the minimum every-three-day frequency and respond to daily requests for service. Operators keep cleaning supplies properly labeled and stored away from food, linens, and utensils, and ensure that toilet-cleaning devices are kept strictly segregated from those used on sinks, showers, and bathtubs. Fresh, laundered bed sheets and pillowcases are provided after each guest's departure, and towels and washcloths are made available at least every three days or sooner upon request.

For Tenants

Mont. Admin. R. 37.111.336 gives lodging guests in Montana the right to expect clean bedding at check-in, housekeeping services available daily upon request, and fresh towels and washcloths at least every three days. If a lodging facility appears to be falling short of these standards — such as failing to clean shared bathrooms daily or using improperly stored cleaning supplies — guests may consider documenting the conditions and reporting concerns to the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services, which oversees lodging facility compliance. Tenant-rights organizations or local health departments can also be consulted to understand what options may be available.
