Plain English

Montana Code § 70-33-314 governs how resident associations in mobile home parks may organize and meet. A majority of members must be present for officers to be elected, and all residents are entitled to attend meetings. Landlords and their employees are excluded from membership and attendance unless the resident association specifically invites them, and the landlord is prohibited from interfering with any invited guest's attendance or from blocking meetings that concern mobile home living or the park's future, including potential sales or changes in use.

For Property Managers

Under Mont. Code Ann. § 70-33-314, compliant mobile home park operators recognize that resident association meetings are off-limits to landlords and their staff unless a formal invitation is extended by the association. Operators do not take any action—direct or indirect—to prevent, discourage, or interfere with resident meetings, including those that address topics such as park sales or changes in land use. Maintaining clear boundaries around resident association activities is a standard part of operating within the requirements of this provision.

For Tenants

Mont. Code Ann. § 70-33-314 gives mobile home park residents the right to form and hold association meetings free from landlord interference, with the power to decide whether to invite the landlord or their employees. Residents may meet to discuss topics including mobile home living conditions and the park's future plans, such as a potential sale or change of use, and a landlord who interferes with these meetings or blocks an invited guest may be in violation of this provision. Tenants who believe their meeting rights have been infringed can document the interference, reach out to a tenant-rights organization familiar with Montana mobile home park law, or explore complaint options available through local or state housing authorities.
