This bill establishes new requirements for homeowners' associations in Montana regarding entry onto real property. It mandates that a homeowners' association must obtain permission from the property owner before an agent can enter the property. The association is required to coordinate a convenient date and time for entry and specify which part of the property will be accessed. Additionally, property owners have the right to require their presence or that of their agent during the entry.
The bill also clarifies the definition of a "homeowners' association" and outlines exceptions to these requirements. Specifically, it states that the entry requirements do not apply to condominiums with common elements that require access to individual units, nor do they apply to recorded easements that benefit the homeowners' association. These provisions aim to protect property owners' rights while allowing homeowners' associations to fulfill their responsibilities.
