NMLA Renter's Guide

The New Mexico Legal Aid has published a Renter's Guide to help tenants navigate the rental process. Renting a place to live presents many important questions and can have legal consequences. Landlords and tenants often suffer from inaccurate information. A lack of information, or the wrong information, may cause disputes that turn into eviction actions. When tenants do not have information about their rights, it hurts their ability to provide their families with a safe and secure place to live. This guide will:

  • Provide information about the landlord-tenant relationship
  • Tell you about your rights in that relationship
  • Help you avoid some of the problems that sometimes occur in renting houses or apartments
Here are some highlights of the guide  (These links take you to specific pages within the guide)
