Information
Do you have a question about what you can and cannot do in your rental apartment or house? For example, do you want to keep a pet in your rental but you do not know if you can?
If you have any questions about what you can and cannot do in your rental apartment or house:
- Look at your rental agreement. A rental agreement is sometimes called a "lease". Many rental agreements say what you can do and cannot do.
- If you do not have a copy of your rental agreement, ask your landlord or landlady for a copy. Ask in writing, if possible. He or she should have a copy of your rental agreement.
- If your rental agreement does not answer your question, call one of these programs for help:
- Montana Legal Services Association HelpLine at 1-800-666-6899;
- Montana Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) Landlord/Tenant Hotline at 1-888-345-7474.
