Cal. Civ. Code § 70-33-105
Unless superseded by the provisions of this chapter, the principles of law and equity, including the law relating to capacity to contract, mutuality of obligations, principal and agent, real property, public health, safety and fire prevention, estoppel, fraud, misrepresentation, duress, coercion, mistake, bankruptcy, or other validating or invalidating causes, supplement the provisions of this chapter.

Plain English

Mont. Code Ann. § 70-33-105 establishes that Montana's mobile home landlord-tenant statutes do not operate in isolation. Where the chapter's specific rules do not address a situation, a broad range of general legal doctrines—such as contract law, agency principles, real property law, fraud, and equitable remedies—continue to apply and fill in the gaps. The chapter's own provisions take precedence whenever they directly conflict with these background principles.

For Property Managers

Under Mont. Code Ann. § 70-33-105, operators of mobile home spaces should recognize that their obligations extend beyond the chapter's explicit rules. General legal doctrines—including contract formation requirements, agency relationships, and public health standards—remain in force and can affect the enforceability of lease terms and management decisions. Compliant operators typically ensure that their agreements and practices satisfy both the chapter's specific requirements and these broader legal principles.

For Tenants

Mont. Code Ann. § 70-33-105 means that tenants in Montana mobile home spaces retain rights rooted in general law even when the chapter itself is silent on a particular issue. Doctrines such as fraud, misrepresentation, and equitable estoppel may provide grounds to challenge a landlord's conduct that the chapter does not explicitly address. Tenants who believe a general legal principle has been violated may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid office to understand what remedies might be available.
