Plain English

Mont. Code Ann. § 70-33-108 establishes strict limits on when a 'notice of no contact' can be issued between a landlord and a tenant in a mobile home park tenancy. Such a notice is only valid if it is authorized by a court order of no contact or, in certain circumstances, an order of protection issued by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any notice of no contact that falls outside these narrow legal channels—and outside the exception carved out by § 45-5-209—is explicitly deemed invalid under Montana law.

For Property Managers

Under Mont. Code Ann. § 70-33-108, property owners and managers operating under Title 70, chapter 33 should be aware that a notice of no contact directed at a tenant carries legal weight only when it originates from a court order of no contact or a qualifying order of protection. Compliant operators generally do not attempt to issue or rely on informal no-contact notices as a substitute for court-authorized processes. Consulting with a qualified Montana attorney familiar with landlord-tenant law is a common step for operators seeking to understand how this provision interacts with their day-to-day management obligations.

For Tenants

Mont. Code Ann. § 70-33-108 provides tenants with a clear protection: a notice of no contact issued against them by or on behalf of a landlord is legally invalid unless it stems from a court order of no contact or a court-issued order of protection, or falls under the exception in § 45-5-209. Tenants who receive a notice of no contact that does not appear to meet these requirements may have grounds to challenge its validity. Reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office can help tenants understand what options may be available when a notice appears to conflict with this provision.
