Land Board authorizes litigation to eject former lessee at Flathead cabin site

Land Board · September 15, 2025

Summary

DNRC told the Land Board it has not received lease payments for a Flathead County cabin site since Dec. 2023 and asked for authority to initiate civil action and eject the occupant. The board entered a closed session under MCA 2-3-203(4) and then approved the request unanimously.

DNRC reported that a former lessee continues to occupy a Flathead County cabin site without a valid lease and has not paid rent since Dec. 2023. Director Castor said the lessee had "willfully refused for 2 years to sign a new lease or provide back payments" despite final notice and service in July 2025, and DNRC requested authority to pursue civil action and eject the occupant to protect trust assets.

The board announced that it would go into closed session under MCA 2-3-203(4) to discuss the matter. After the closed session the board moved, seconded and approved DNRC’s request to pursue litigation and ejectment; the board recorded the vote as unanimous.
