New Mexico Rent control / stabilization

Does New Mexico have rent control?

There is no state rent control in New Mexico, and state law bars counties and home rule cities from enacting ordinances that control rents on privately owned property (NMSA 1978, § 47-8A-1(A)). The ban does not cover privately owned property with government contract funding for reduced rents to low- or moderate-income tenants (§ 47-8A-1(C)). The Uniform Owner-Resident Relations Act was full-text search.
