Senate Bill No. introduced by S. Morigeau establishes a new requirement for operators of self-storage facilities in Montana regarding the mitigation of damages when a renter vacates their leased space early. Specifically, the bill mandates that these operators have a duty to take reasonable steps to mitigate any potential damages resulting from the early termination of the lease by the renter.

Additionally, the bill includes a codification instruction indicating that the new section on mitigation is intended to be integrated into Title 70, chapter 6, part 6 of the Montana Code Annotated, ensuring that the provisions of that title apply to the newly established duty of self-storage operators.
