Montana late fee calculator: is your rent late fee legal?
We found no verified Montana statute on residential late fees, so there is no cap to check against (searched: MCA chs. 70-24 and 70-25 (no late-fee cap or grace period found; § 70-25-201(1) lets a landlord deduct 'late charges' and 'penalties due under lease provisions' from the deposit, and § 70-24-201(4) bars an additional fee based on rent payment type except to recoup an electronic bank fee for electronic payment; other titles were not searched)). Any late fee would have to come from your lease. See the Montana page for the rules we have checked, or use the late fee checker for another state.
