What New Mexico law says
| Notice before a rent increase | For a month-to-month residency, written notice of a rent increase is required at least 30 days before the periodic rental date. For a fixed-term lease, the notice is required at least 30 days before the term ends. For periodic residencies shorter than a month, notice is required at least one rental period before the first increased payment. Since June 20, 2025, increases to lease fees need 60 days' written notice (one rental period for residencies under a month). |
