Does a home seller have to disclose the property’s condition in Montana?
In Montana, there is no general condition statement, but the seller or the seller’s agent must give the buyer the statutory radon disclosure statement, which the buyer signs, on a document signed before or with the offer, must hand over any radon test results the seller knows of, and an owner who knows the home was a methamphetamine or fentanyl lab or was contaminated by their use must tell a purchaser in writing before the sale is agreed unless it has been remediated by a certified contractor. The radon test results and evidence of any mitigation must be given before or when the contract is entered into, and the statute says it does not create a contingency or a right to rescind unless the contract expressly provides one. A seller or seller’s agent who complies with the radon requirements is not liable in any action based on the presence of radon in the building. The methamphetamine or fentanyl notice must be given before agreement to a lease or sale. Federal law separately requires a lead-based paint disclosure when selling most homes built before 1978. This is Mont. Code Ann. §§ 75-3-606, 75-10-1305.
