Cal. Civ. Code § 70-33-106
Notice
Operative Text
(1) A person has notice of a fact if: (a) the person has actual knowledge of the fact; (b) in the case of a landlord, the notice is delivered at the place of business of the landlord through which the rental agreement was made; or (c) in the case of a landlord or tenant, the notice is personally delivered to the landlord or tenant or mailed with a certificate of mailing or by certified mail to the place held out by the landlord or tenant as the place for receipt of the communication or, in the absence of a designation, to the landlord's or tenant's last-known address. When notice is made by certificate of mailing or certified mail, the service of the notice must be considered to have been made 3 days after the date of mailing. (2) Notice received by an organization is effective for a particular transaction from the time it is brought to the attention of the individual conducting that transaction on behalf of the organization and, in any event, from the time the notice would have been brought to the individual's attention if the organization had exercised reasonable diligence.
Montana Code § 70-33-106 establishes the legal standards for when a landlord or tenant is considered to have received "notice" of a fact. A person has notice if they have actual knowledge, if written notice is delivered to the landlord's place of business where the rental agreement was made, or if notice is personally delivered or sent by certified mail or certificate of mailing to the appropriate address. When mailed, notice is legally deemed received three days after the mailing date, and organizations are considered notified once the relevant individual actually receives the information or would have received it with reasonable diligence.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Mont. Code Ann. § 70-33-106, compliant landlords typically maintain a clearly designated address or place of business for receiving communications related to their rental agreements. Operators generally ensure that any mailed notices are sent via certified mail or with a certificate of mailing, and they account for the three-day deemed-receipt rule when calculating deadlines. Landlords who manage properties through an organization should have internal procedures that promptly route incoming notices to the individual handling the relevant transaction.

Mont. Code Ann. § 70-33-106 defines how tenants can legally deliver notice to a landlord and how landlords may deliver notice to tenants, which can be important when asserting or defending rights under a rental agreement. Tenants generally protect themselves by sending written communications via certified mail or certificate of mailing to the landlord's designated address, keeping proof of mailing and tracking the three-day deemed-receipt period. If a dispute arises over whether proper notice was given, tenant-rights organizations in Montana can help explain how this provision may apply to a particular situation.
