Cal. Civ. Code § 70-27-109
General Rules Of Practice Applicable
Operative Text
Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the provisions of Title 25 are applicable to and constitute the rules of practice mentioned in this chapter.
Mont. Code Ann. § 70-27-109 establishes that the general procedural rules found in Title 25 of Montana's statutes govern proceedings under the landlord-tenant chapter, unless a specific provision within that chapter says otherwise. In other words, the standard civil practice and procedure rules apply by default to any legal actions arising under this part of Montana law. This creates a consistent procedural framework by incorporating existing court rules rather than creating an entirely separate set of procedures.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Mont. Code Ann. § 70-27-109, property owners and managers involved in legal proceedings related to this chapter—such as eviction or rent-related actions—can generally expect that Montana's standard Title 25 civil procedure rules will apply. Compliant operators typically familiarize themselves with those procedural requirements, including filing deadlines, service of process rules, and court practices, to ensure their actions are procedurally sound. Because specific provisions within the chapter may override the general rules, operators generally review both the chapter-specific rules and Title 25 together.

Mont. Code Ann. § 70-27-109 means that tenants involved in any legal proceeding under this chapter of Montana law are generally entitled to the same procedural protections that apply in standard Montana civil court cases under Title 25. This includes rights related to notice, hearings, and other procedural safeguards built into the state's civil practice framework. Tenants who believe a procedural right has been overlooked may consider raising that concern in the relevant proceeding or consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Montana court procedures.
