A New Mexico-compliant lease with every disclosure the state requires built in, not bolted on — 4 state-specific clauses plus 11 universal ones. Fill it in, e-sign it, and it lives with the tenant record.
New Mexico ties its deposit cap to the lease length: one month’s rent for leases under a year, while a landlord who takes more on a longer lease must pay interest on it (NMSA § 47-8-18). Late fees are capped at 10% of the rent.
These are the clauses and disclosures our New Mexico template carries. Each cites the statute it comes from; the ones marked checkbox are filled from your property's answers.
