Renting a Home:
Legal Aspects of Renting in New Mexico
Regulation of Rental Contracts
The laws and regulations that govern rental contracts are different in each state and sometimes will vary from city to city within a state. Also, assistance with landlord-tenant problems varies from state to state. You can search on the Internet for legal services or find a hotline run by a state, county or city housing agency or nonprofit association. You also can look up the state bar association in the telephone book and ask them where you can find help. If you do not know where to begin, ask at the reference desk in your local public library. Professional reference librarians are skilled in knowing where to look for all kinds of information including legal assistance resources.
