Revise laws regarding residential covenants

This bill revises Montana laws to limit how restrictive covenants and homeowners' association rules can be enforced against property owners. It prevents anyone from imposing new or stricter restrictions on a property than those that existed when the owner originally acquired it, unless the owner explicitly agrees in writing to the change. The law also requires property owners to record exceptions to these restrictions and notify other affected owners, while exempting successors like family members or lenders from this protection in certain cases. Existing covenants remain valid as long as they were enforceable when the owner purchased the property, and the bill does not invalidate current agreements or create new legal claims for past actions.
