    Notice to end a month-to-month tenancy

    Either party may end a New Mexico month-to-month residency with written notice given at least 30 days before the periodic rental date named in the notice (NMSA 1978 § 47-8-37(B)).

    Week-to-week: written notice at least 7 days before the termination date (§ 47-8-37(A)).

    NMSA 1978 § 47-8-37 · checked October 27, 2026

    With 30 days' notice delivered on November 1, 2026, the earliest effective date the form accepts is December 1, 2026, and the example moves it to the first day of a month on or after that date. New Mexico's rule above sets different terms in some situations, so set the form's notice period to the one that fits your tenancy.

    City and county rules can be stricter than state law, and your lease can require more than the statute does. Use whichever rule gives the tenant more time or protection.
