Yes, in New Mexico a landlord can evict someone “for no reason” once there’s no active lease agreement in place. If a written lease has expired and isn’t being renewed, or if there’s no written lease and the tenancy is periodic (like week‑to‑week or month‑to‑month), the landlord doesn’t need a separate cause to end the tenancy; they must give appropriate written notice before beginning the eviction process. For example, a 7‑day written notice for week‑to‑week tenancies and a 30‑day written notice for month‑to‑month tenancies is required before filing an eviction action if the tenant doesn’t leave. After that notice period, the landlord must still go through the formal court eviction process and obtain a judgment to remove the tenant, landlords cannot force a tenant out without a court order.
