Tips for renting in Albuquerque, NM
Before you start packing, let's talk about some of the tenant laws in Albuquerque.
By renting a property, you're agreeing to certain things, like paying rent and taking care of the property. If you fail to follow these rules, your landlord can give you a seven day notice – which has to come within 30 days of the rule that you broke.
During the first seven days, you have the opportunity to fix the problem; one example would be paying overdue rent. If you commit the same violation within six months of the first, the landlord will give you a second seven day notice.
But this time, you won't have the opportunity to fix the problem. You'll be forced to either move out within those 7 days or be evicted.
