Tenant Protections / Rental Mediation
Summary
Bozeman is now funding legal help for renters and Montana’s first rental mediation program. If you rent or own rental property, this changes how eviction and landlord-tenant disputes get handled—less courtroom drama, more structured negotiation. It’s a local policy shift worth watching because it affects housing stability and city spending.

Impact analysis
The city is putting public money into legal counsel and mediation, which could reduce costly evictions and court fights but adds a new line item to Bozeman’s budget.
Renters facing eviction or disputes get legal help and a mediation option, while landlords get a faster, less adversarial way to resolve conflicts.
No groups are directly harmed; the main trade-off is public funding being allocated to this program instead of other city priorities.
