Landlords in New Mexico must honor tenants rights by providing habitable housing, making repairs in a timely manner, refraining from discrimination, allowing tenants to have quiet enjoyment of the property, and adhering to the legal process for eviction, among other things.
As per law, the landlord can deduct arrears or major repair expenses from the security deposit before refunding the rest to the tenant. Tenants cannot claim a security deposit refund in cases of rent agreement renewal. The refund amount is only returned if the tenant vacates premises after tenure expiry.

If a lease is for more than one year, the landlord can collect more, but must pay interest on the extra amount. Security deposits must be returned within 30 days of the lease ending.
