Residential Lease Addenda - Mold Disclosure - Montana
MONTANA MOISTURE AND MOLD CONDITION ADDENDUM
This Addendum is entered on [DATE] by [LANDLORD] and [TENANT(S)] for [PREMISES] under the residential lease dated [DATE].
1. CURRENT CONDITION
☐ No visible mold or unresolved moisture condition was observed in the parties' documented inspection.
☐ Observed staining, odor, moisture, leak, or suspected growth: [LOCATION / DESCRIPTION / DATE].
☐ Prior water event, inspection, or remediation disclosed: [DETAILS].
☐ Condition report, photographs, or professional report attached: [DETAILS].
This factual record does not disclaim the landlord's duties under § 70-24-303 or promise that no concealed condition exists.
2. TENANT CARE AND REPORTING
Consistent with § 70-24-321, Tenant shall keep the occupied area reasonably clean and safe, dispose of waste safely, keep plumbing fixtures reasonably clean, use supplied facilities reasonably, and avoid damaging the premises.
Tenant shall promptly report leaks, standing water, persistent condensation, HVAC or exhaust failure, visible suspected growth, or persistent musty odor to [CONTACT / METHOD]. This is a contractual prompt-report term, not an invented Montana 24-hour statute.
3. LANDLORD RESPONSE AND ACCESS
Landlord shall investigate and address conditions within the duties stated in § 70-24-303, using qualified professionals when appropriate. The response plan is:
| Item | Plan / date / responsible person |
|---|---|
| Moisture source investigation | [________________________________] |
| Repair | [________________________________] |
| Sampling, if professionally recommended | [________________________________] |
| Cleaning or remediation | [________________________________] |
| Follow-up | [________________________________] |
| Temporary-use arrangement | [________________________________] |
Access must comply with § 70-24-312: except in an emergency or when impracticable, at least 24 hours' notice and reasonable-time entry. This Addendum does not invent a five-business-day sampling, remediation, clearance, or comparable-housing deadline.
4. COSTS AND LOSS OF USE
Repair, testing, remediation, personal-property loss, rent adjustment, insurance, and temporary-use issues will be determined from cause, lease terms, professional evidence, and nonwaivable law. No automatic charge to either party or mandatory testing protocol is created here.
5. STATUTORY RIGHTS PRESERVED
Nothing waives a chapter 24 right or remedy, disclaims an implied duty that law makes nonwaivable, limits liability for another party's purposeful misconduct or negligence, or indemnifies that liability or related costs or attorney fees. § 70-24-202.
No custom 72-hour cure or automatic lease termination applies. Any tenant-noncompliance termination must follow the applicable part of § 70-24-422 and the court process.
Potential attorney fees and costs are governed by § 70-24-442, not a one-sided addendum provision.
6. SIGNATURES
Landlord: _______________________________ Date: [DATE]
Tenant: _______________________________ Date: [DATE]
Tenant: _______________________________ Date: [DATE]

Real estate documents transfer ownership, define who can use a property, and record agreements between buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants. Deeds, purchase agreements, leases, and easements have to be drafted to meet state recording requirements, and mistakes show up at closing or years later in title disputes. Good real estate paperwork moves transactions forward quickly and avoids the kind of problems that only surface when it is time to sell or refinance.
