“The challenge is to put a lot of effort in consumer protection. If people know what their rights are, they will be protected. If they don't, they will be exploited.” - Gerhard Coetzee

For over 35 years, MontPIRG has worked to put consumers in the drivers seat by giving them the tools to make smart decisions and fight back when they were being scammed.

We believe that people empowered with information about their choices as a consumers will make stronger decisions on the important decisions in their life. That is why we have successfully built a track record of helping young people and all Montanans overcome the scammers and those bend on deceiving customers.

Our most prominent campaign has been our work to protect renters and resolve tenant/landlord issues. For decades we have published our Tenant/Landlord Guide to give both sides the information they need to protect themselves and know their rights. Every week we get multiple calls from renters looking for help when their landlord comes knocking.
