New Mexico Late Rent Notice

This Late Rent Notice is built with New Mexico as the governing state. These are the New Mexico landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.

Rent, late fees & fee rules

Rent is payable without demand or notice at the time and place the parties agree (§47-8-15). Senate Bill 267, effective June 20, 2025, rewrote the fee rules — leases drafted before then often recite limits the law no longer allows.

• Late fees — A late fee is allowed only if the rental agreement provides for one, and it can’t exceed 5% of the rent for each rental period the resident is in default. The 5% is calculated on rent alone — not deposits, other fees or utilities — and the owner must give notice of the fee no later than the last day of the next rental period (§47-8-15(D)).
• Rent increases — In a month-to-month residency the owner must give written notice of an increase at least 30 days before the periodic rental date; for a fixed term, at least 30 days before the term ends. For a periodic residency shorter than a month, notice must come at least one rental period ahead (§47-8-15).
• Fee increases — Since 2025, raising a recurring fee also requires advance written notice — 60 days for a month-to-month residency (§47-8-19.4).
• Screening fees — An applicant screening fee is capped at $50, must be refunded if no screening is done, and only one fee may be charged to the same applicant within 90 days (§§47-8-19.2, 47-8-19.3). All rental costs must be itemized in the published listing (§47-8-19.1).
• Rent control — Cities and counties — including home-rule municipalities — may not enact rent control on privately owned housing (§47-8A-1). A 2025 bill to repeal the ban (SB 216) did not pass.

Ending a New Mexico tenancy

• Nonpayment — A written 3-day notice of nonpayment; if the rent isn’t paid within three days of delivery, the owner may terminate and file a petition for restitution (§47-8-33(D)).
• Lease violations — A 7-day notice of noncompliance lets the resident cure. A second material breach within six months of the first gets a 7-day notice with no right to cure; the initial notice must warn of this and be given within 30 days of the breach or the owner’s knowledge of it (§47-8-33(A)–(C)).
• Substantial violations — Serious conduct within 300 feet of the unit — such as drug dealing, unlawful use of a deadly weapon, or causing serious physical harm — supports a 3-day notice of termination (§47-8-33(I)).
• Military — Active-duty servicemembers with qualifying orders may terminate under the federal SCRA (50 U.S.C. §3955).
