A Montana month-to-month rental agreement is a legal document that establishes a rolling lease, allowing the tenant to rent a residential property on a per-month basis without a predetermined end date. The only lease termination method is sending a termination notice, which must be sent via certified mail with a return receipt.

Montana Month-to-Month Eviction
The landlord must provide a written notice of at least 30 days informing the tenant that the tenancy is being terminated. This notice must clearly state the deadline for vacating the property. If the tenant fails to move out within the specified timeframe, the landlord can initiate a formal eviction.
