NEW MEXICO

On June 11, the Albuquerque Land Use, Planning, and Zoning Committee will consider adopting the Renter’s Empowerment and Neighborhood Transparency (RENT) Ordinance. The proposal establishes a Renters' Bill of Rights designed to enhance transparency and provide additional protections for renters. The measure would require landlords to use plain-language applications reviewed on a first-come basis, disclose all rental fees upfront, accept all forms of payment without charging extra, and either ban pets or eliminate pet fees. It would also provide relocation assistance for poorly maintained homes and require landlords to register properties with the city.
