Property Management
A Montana property manager who discovers a habitability problem (such as a broken heating system in winter) must:
AWait for the tenant to report the problem in writing before acting
BAddress the emergency repair promptly to maintain habitability, regardless of lease terms✓ Correct
CDocument the issue and address it at the next scheduled maintenance cycle
DNotify the county health department before making any repairs
Explanation
Montana's implied warranty of habitability requires landlords to maintain rental properties in habitable condition. A broken heating system in Montana's cold winters is an emergency requiring immediate repair. Failure to address habitability issues can expose the landlord to rent withholding, repair-and-deduct remedies, or damages.
