Landlord and Tenant Relations
The Community Development Department has developed the “Landlord/Tenant Relations” Handbook which is intended to be useful guide for both renters and landlords about their rights and responsibilities under the New Mexico Uniform Owner-Residents Relations Act, more commonly known as the “Landlord-Tenant Law.”

- Rental Agreement requirements
- Deposit information
- Landlord and tenant obligations
- Right of entry limitations
|
- Remedies and corrections available to both the tenant and landlord
- An overview of Going to Court for any disputes
- Fair Housing Laws/Discrimination Prohibitions
