LC 2346 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise laws related to short-term rentals

This bill (LC 2346) clarifies that short-term rentals (like Airbnb) are classified as residential uses, not commercial or business uses, unless a property covenant or homeowners' association bylaw explicitly states otherwise. It directly affects property owners, homeowners associations, and online platforms (e.g., Airbnb, Vrbo) that facilitate short-term rentals. The bill amends Montana Code Annotated §15-68-101 to define "short-term rental" as residential, excluding them from commercial regulations. This change takes effect immediately and applies to all existing and future short-term rental agreements.
