Study resolution on property management licensing and practice

This joint resolution requests Montana's legislature to conduct a study of current property management licensing standards, education requirements, and their impact on rental costs. The research will compare Montana's rules to other states, examine how foreign property management companies operate without licensing, and gather input from landlords, tenants, and industry experts. The study must be completed by September 2026 and reported to the next legislative session. This is a research effort only - no regulations or fees will change as a result.
