What is the minimum notice required for a landlord to notify a tenant of lease termination?

The minimum notice required for a landlord to notify a tenant of lease termination is 30 days. In Montana, this timeframe is standardized to ensure both landlords and tenants have adequate time to prepare for the end of a lease agreement. A 30-day notice allows tenants to find new housing and gives landlords sufficient time to find new tenants, protecting the interests of both parties in the rental agreement.

Other options, such as 1 week, 14 days, and 60 days, do not align with the typical legal requirements outlined in Montana's landlord-tenant laws. A shorter duration like 1 week or 14 days does not provide ample time for the tenant to secure new housing, while a 60-day notice period is generally considered applicable under different circumstances, such as when a tenant has held a lease for a significant length of time. Hence, the standard minimum notice period for lease termination is set at 30 days.
