The Montana Short Term Rental Association is a statewide coalition of property owners united in the fight to protect our rights, freedoms, and livelihoods. From short-term rental hosts to ranchers and small business owners, we are Montanans who believe in the principles of independence, personal responsibility, and local control.

Our members are proud contributors to Montana’s economy and communities, providing jobs, supporting small businesses, and preserving our state’s rich heritage. MSTRA  was established to ensure that property owners have a unified voice in shaping policies that affect their land and livelihoods.

Property Rights: Defending the fundamental right to manage and use private property without excessive restrictions.

Economic Opportunity: Highlighting the contributions property owners make to Montana’s economy, including tax revenue, job creation, and support for local businesses.

Local Control: Advocating for solutions that reflect the unique needs of Montana communities rather than one-size-fits-all regulations.

Personal Responsibility: Promoting responsible practices among property owners to ensure good relationships with neighbors and sustainable land use.

Recent efforts to impose sweeping regulations on property use—particularly short-term rentals—threaten not only individual freedoms but also the economic lifeblood of our communities. Misguided policies, often influenced by those who don’t understand Montana’s values or way of life, risk stifling growth and opportunity for everyone.

The Montana Short Term Rental Association exists to push back against these threats, offering a strong, unified voice for property owners across the state. We are here to protect what makes Montana great: our independence, our resilience, and our ability to thrive without unnecessary interference.

To protect the rights of Montana property owners by advocating for fair, balanced policies that promote freedom, local decision-making, and responsible land use while opposing unnecessary government overreach.

A Montana where property owners’ rights are respected, local economies flourish, and communities thrive through responsible land use and fair policies.

Stand with us to protect your rights and preserve Montana’s way of life. As a member of MLFA, you’ll gain access to resources, training, and advocacy efforts to ensure that your voice is heard at every level of government.
