A New Mexico month-to-month rental agreement is a legal document that establishes a monthly tenancy with no specific end date. It continues indefinitely until either the landlord or tenant decides to terminate the arrangement. Should either party wish to terminate the agreement, sending a termination letter via certified mail is advisable.
Legal Requirements for Month-to-Month Leases
Minimum Termination Period: 30 days. Either the landlord or tenant must give at least a thirty-day notice before the intended termination date, which is typically aligned with the rent payment schedule. [1]
Rent Increase: No state-mandated rent control, but 30 days’ notice should be given before increasing.

New Mexico Month-to-Month Eviction
For month-to-month rentals in New Mexico, landlords must provide a minimum of 30 days written notice to terminate the tenancy without cause. If the tenant violates lease terms, such as non-payment of rent, the landlord can issue a shorter notice period, usually 3 days, to correct the issue or vacate. Tenants can challenge evictions in court, ensuring their rights are protected under New Mexico’s landlord-tenant laws.
