Renting a home can create situations that need to be handled carefully in order to avoid problems. A lack of information about the landlord-tenant relationship can escalate into an eviction and hinder your ability to have a safe, secure place to live.

The Renters Guide, which was written by NM Legal Aid and published with funds from MFA, provides valuable information about your rights and responsibilities as a renter. It is based on the New Mexico law that covers landlord-tenant relations for residential housing.
