The majority opinion, in seeking to establish for the first time in Montana an actionable tort under § 70-24-303(l)(c), MCA, part of Montana’s Residential Landlord and Tenant Act of 1977 (RLTA), has created a new liability that the majority opinion rests upon negligence per se. In doing so, the majority has stretched the RLTA to a point that approaches the mere happening of an accident as the basis for a tort claim to be decided by a jury.
