Cal. Civ. Code § 70-33-107
Every duty under this chapter and every act that must be performed as a condition precedent to the exercise of a right or remedy under this chapter imposes an obligation of good faith in its performance or enforcement.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Mont. Code Ann. § 70-33-107 establishes that every duty and every condition that must be met before exercising a right or remedy under Montana's mobile home landlord-tenant law carries with it an implied requirement of good faith. This means that neither party can perform their obligations in a dishonest, arbitrary, or bad-faith manner simply because the letter of the law technically permits it. The rule applies broadly to all duties and conditions throughout the chapter, not just specific transactions or disputes.

For Property Managers

Under Mont. Code Ann. § 70-33-107, property owners and managers operating mobile home spaces in Montana are generally expected to carry out their duties—such as providing notices, maintaining premises, or enforcing lease terms—honestly and in a manner consistent with fair dealing. Compliant operators typically document their actions, apply rules consistently across tenants, and avoid using technical compliance as a cover for arbitrary or retaliatory conduct. Maintaining clear records of communications and decisions helps demonstrate that obligations were met in the spirit the statute requires.

For Tenants

Mont. Code Ann. § 70-33-107 gives tenants a basis to challenge conduct that, while perhaps technically within a landlord's rights, was carried out in a dishonest or arbitrary way. If a landlord's enforcement of a lease condition or exercise of a remedy appears to lack good faith, tenants may be able to raise that as a defense in a legal proceeding or bring it to the attention of a local tenant-rights organization for guidance. Understanding this provision can be an important part of evaluating whether a landlord's actions align with the broader obligations the chapter imposes.
