¶ Hill involved a commercial lease for a bar in Great Falls between Zuckerman, the lessor, and
Hill, the lessee. The conflicting facts indicated that Zuckerman mailed notice to William Earl (a
predecessor in interest to Hill), and alleged that Earl "wouldn’t accept it." Hill, 138 Mont. at 235,
355 P.2d at 524. Earl testified, however, that he "never refused to claim the letter because he was
not at the given address when it was supposed to have been delivered." Hill, 138 Mont. at 236,
355 P.2d at 524. Similar to the case here, the facts showed that the registered mail was returned
"unclaimed," and that Zuckerman sent the letter to the home address of Earl rather than the
bar as contemplated by the terms of the lease. Hill, 138 Mont. at 234, 355 P.2d at 523.
