My Residents lease is up and I do not want to renew it. Do I have to give them a reason?
No, the NM Owner Resident Relations Act does not require that you give a reason for non-renewal of a rental agreement, just as your Resident does not have to give you a reason when they turn in their notice.
As the Owner or Manager of the Property, do I have a right to enter my unit?
Yes, as long as you give the resident twenty-four (24) hour written notice of your intent to enter and your reason for entry. The only time you do not need a 24 hour notice is in the event of an emergency in the unit.
