NMSA 47-8-24 requires a New Mexico owner to give 24 hours' written notice before entering, stating the purpose and a reasonable time estimate. No notice is needed in an emergency, for repairs the resident requested within seven days, or when accompanied by a public official or utility representative.
Under NMSA 47-8-24, an owner 'may enter the resident's dwelling unit pursuant to this subsection only after giving the resident twenty-four hours written notification' of the intent to enter, the purpose, and a reasonable estimate of the time frame. Permitted purposes include to 'inspect the premises, make necessary or agreed repairs... or exhibit the dwelling unit to prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, prospective residents, workmen or contractors.' The 24-hour rule does not apply to repairs or services 'within seven days of a request by the resident,' or when the owner is accompanied by a public official conducting an inspection or a cable, electric, gas, or telephone representative. The owner 'may enter the dwelling unit without consent of the resident in case of an emergency,' and may not abuse the right of access.
No specific statutory penalty. A resident subjected to unlawful or repeated abusive entry may obtain injunctive relief, recover actual damages, or terminate the agreement under the Uniform Owner-Resident Relations Act (NMSA 47-8-29).
