New Mexico Month-to-Month Lease Agreement Template

Minimum Termination: The landlord or tenant may terminate a month-to-month lease by delivering written notice at least 30 days before the periodic rental date specified in the notice (§ 47-8-37(B)).

• Exception for Mobile Home Parks: Landlords must have “good cause” (such as nonpayment of rent or a violation of park rules) to terminate a month-to-month tenancy in a mobile home park. The landlord must include written notice of the good cause in the 30-day termination notice (Green Valley Mobile Home Park v. Mulvaney (1996)).
• Exception for Multisection Mobile Homes: If the tenant lives in a multisection mobile home, the landlord must provide written notice of termination and the “good cause” at least 60 days before the periodic rental date (§ 47-10-3(C)).

Increasing Rent: There is no statewide cap on rent increases, and state law prohibits local governments from enacting rent-control ordinances for privately owned real property(§ 47-8A-1(A)). Landlords must provide at least 30 days’ written notice of the proposed increase prior to the periodic rental date on which it will take effect. Under New Mexico’s Mobile Home Park Act, landlords must provide 60 days’ notice before increasing rent for tenants living in a mobile home park (§ 47-10-19).
