Cal. Civ. Code § 70-24-107
This chapter applies to, regulates, and determines rights, obligations, and remedies under a rental agreement, wherever made, for a dwelling unit located within this state.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Montana Code Ann. § 70-24-107 establishes that the state's residential landlord-tenant law governs any rental agreement for a dwelling unit physically located in Montana, regardless of where that agreement was signed or executed. The provision anchors legal rights, duties, and available remedies to the location of the rental property itself, not to the location where the contract was formed. This means Montana law—not the law of another state—controls the relationship between the parties whenever the housing unit sits within Montana's borders.

For Property Managers

Under Mont. Code Ann. § 70-24-107, operators of rental properties situated in Montana are subject to the full scope of Montana's residential landlord-tenant chapter, even if a lease was drafted or signed in another state. Compliant operators generally ensure that their lease terms, notice procedures, and remedies align with Montana statutory requirements rather than those of a different jurisdiction. Familiarity with Montana's landlord-tenant chapter is a standard part of managing a Montana-based rental portfolio.

For Tenants

Mont. Code Ann. § 70-24-107 means that tenants renting a dwelling unit located in Montana are protected by Montana's landlord-tenant laws, no matter what state's law a lease might claim to apply. If a lease contains a clause purporting to apply another state's law, that clause does not strip away the protections Montana law provides for in-state units. Tenants who have questions about how this territorial rule affects their specific rights may find guidance through local tenant-rights organizations or Montana's court self-help resources.
