First step is the formal Notice. Under NM law, you need to serve a 30-Day Notice to Vacate. See NMSA § 47-8-37(B).

Purpose: Terminates a month-to-month tenancy without needing to state a reason.

Requirements:

  • Must be in writing.
  • Must give the tenant at least 30 days’ notice before the intended termination date.

Delivery methods include:

  • Hand delivery
  • Posting on the door plus mailing with certificate of mailing
  • First-class mail with certificate of mailing

I understand how challenging it can be to deal with an ex-partner in a situation like this. How long has the person been living in your property without paying rent or utilities?

4 years.
