The bill aims to revise the Montana Residential Mobile Home Lot Rental Act by introducing additional terms for rental agreements and enhancing protections for residents. It limits a landlord's ability to interfere with the sale of a mobile home and provides further protections for resident associations. Additionally, the bill outlines more actions that would be considered retaliatory by landlords against tenants, ensuring that residents have greater security and rights within their rental agreements.

Furthermore, the bill revises the reasons and processes for the lawful termination of rental agreements, making it more difficult for landlords to unjustly evict tenants. It includes amendments to several sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) and provides for an appropriation to support these changes. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
