westernrvparkowner In Montana, if a person rents an RV site for a consecutive period longer than 6 months they automatically become "tenants" and the person renting the site becomes their "landlord". When that happens, many things change.
Yes, and it should include a regular and very specific "terms of use" agreement between the landlord and the tenant, just like the one I have them sign AFTER I sit down with them and go over the whole thing with them. In Montana you have, 70-24-311. Landlord authorized to adopt rules. In fact, it is even more specific than in Wisconsin 70-24-321. Tenant to maintain dwelling unit.
The best way to avoid all the hassle is a month to month lease. (7) The landlord is not bound by this section in the event that the landlord elects to use the 30-day notice for termination of tenancy as provided in 70-24-441.

Like Wisconsin, non-payment of rent is not "cured" by just paying rent, a second non-payment in (IIRC) 60 days is the second bite of the apple as is any other non-compliance and good for termination. If substantially the same act or omission that constituted a prior noncompliance of which notice was given recurs within 6 months, the landlord may terminate the rental agreement upon at least 5 days' written notice specifying the noncompliance and the date of the termination of the rental agreement.
The reason I check credit worthiness is precisely because it gives tenants a stake in protecting their credit rating by paying, complying or getting out without hassle to me.
I hope this isnt too boring to everyone else.
