Montana Repairs and habitability remedies

What can a tenant do if the landlord won't make repairs in Montana?

Health and safety noncompliance: written notice ending the lease in 30+ days unless fixed within 14 days (3 working days in an emergency). Or, after notice and a reasonable time, repair and deduct up to 1 month's rent. If essential services (heat, water, power) aren't supplied, the tenant may buy them and deduct the cost, or get substitute housing.
