IMPORTANT NOTICE TO TENANT

This is a formal legal notice. It is the first step in the eviction process and does not by itself terminate your right to possession of the premises — only a court order can do that.

The landlord may not use "self-help" methods such as changing the locks, removing your belongings, or shutting off utilities to force you to leave. Such actions are illegal in every U.S. state.

If you believe this notice was served in error, or if you have a legal defense, you should consult with a licensed attorney or your local tenant rights organization promptly.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

This notice is governed by the landlord-tenant laws of the State of New Mexico.

This notice does not waive any other rights or remedies available to the landlord under the lease or applicable law.
