Landlord notice deadlines — New Mexico
In New Mexico, the checked deadlines on this page cover: pay or quit, ending a tenancy, raising the rent. Each figure carries its statute and the stamp Rules checked October 2026. Run your exact dates through the checker — the period is only half the answer; the counting rule is the other half.
| Pay or quit | 3 calendar days — the tenant may pay and cure (N.M. Stat. § 47-8-33(D)). 3 days to pay after written notice of nonpayment and intent to terminate. Full payment before the period expires avoids termination. |
|---|---|
| End a tenancy | 30 days — month-to-month (N.M. Stat. § 47-8-37). 30 days' written notice, before the next rental period. 7 days — week-to-week (N.M. Stat. § 47-8-37). 7 days' written notice. |
| Raise the rent | 30 days (N.M. Stat. § 47-8-15). No apartment cap; 30 days' written notice for a change in a month-to-month tenancy. |
| How days are counted | The date of posting is included in the notice and is its effective date (N.M. Stat. § 47-8-13(D)). |
| Allowed service methods | hand delivery posting on an exterior door of the unit (nonpayment notice); other notices posted must also be mailed first-class or hand-delivered (N.M. Stat. § 47-8-13(D)) |
| Just cause | No statewide just-cause requirement. |

Local rules sit on top of state law in many places — city just-cause lists, rent boards, and prescribed local forms. A state deadline is the floor of the analysis, never a promise that no local rule adds to it.
The paper that goes with the date
The checker gives you the date. The kit gives you the notices: pay or quit, non-renewal / termination, and rent increase letters generated from these same checked deadlines, a letter builder that fills in your dates and names, the move-in and move-out inspection checklists, and the proof-of-service checklist.
One-time payment. No subscription. The checker stays free either way.
