New Mexico
New Mexico has not been read at an official source yet. This page says so, and says why.
Acting for yourself
Whether a non-lawyer may act, and for whom, is set by state law, and New Mexico has not been read at its official source yet. Nothing is shown in its place: another state’s rule would be worse than none.
HARD GAP - CAPTCHA. Before I could download the Chapter 36 PDF, nmonesource.com's Lexum 'robocop' bot protection engaged and now returns HTTP 403 with a 290-byte body for EVERY path on the site, including the URL that had worked minutes earlier: the body is <iframe ... src="/robocop/captcha/en/query.do?path=%2Fnmos%2Fnmsa%2Fen%2F4363%2F1%2Fdocument.do&ip=173.179.194.40" ... title="Norma Content">. Loading it in a real browser renders a Lexum CAPTCHA image with a 'Response' text box and an 'ok' button, over the text 'You are accessing a web site that utilizes Lexum's Decisia technology... please proceed with the captcha test below'. I did NOT complete the CAPTCHA (bypassing bot detection is out of bounds), so no statutory text was ever seen and NO citation is recorded - N.M. Stat. Ann. 36-2-27 is a plausible target but is UNCONFIRMED and must not be used. A retry with a fresh IP and NO parallel requests (the burst is what tripped it) should succeed. Also blocked from Anthropic's egress: WebFetch on the same URL returned HTTP 403 independently. Alternate official sources exhausted: nmcourts.gov, www.nmcourts.gov and selfhelp.nmcourts.gov ALL fail DNS resolution from this network ('connection timed out; no servers could be reached'), so the NMRA court rules (e.g. Rule 24-101 NMRA) were unreachable too; mobile.nmonesource.com does not resolve; the direct-PDF pattern https://www.nmonesource.com/w/nmos/Chapter-36-NMSA-1978-<year>.pdf returns HTTP 404 (125-byte JSON) for every year 2018-2026 although the same pattern exists for Chapter 37. Every readable hit for 36-2-27 was an aggregator (Justia, FindLaw) and was therefore not used.
Renting and landlord-tenant
No landlord-tenant provision has been read at New Mexico’s own code yet, so none is shown. An empty section here means nobody checked, never no law exists.
What this page is, and is not
Everything above was read at the source named next to it, on the date named next to it. Nothing is summarised from memory and nothing is carried over from a neighbouring state. Statutes are amended, so read the source before relying on it.
This is general legal information about New Mexico. It is not advice about your situation, and it is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney.
