New Mexico Source of income discrimination

Can a landlord refuse Section 8 or other source of income in New Mexico?

No state statute barring source-of-income discrimination was found in NMSA 1978 ch. 47 art. 8 or § 28-1-7 (Human Rights Act). Section 28-1-7(G) lists the protected classes for housing, and source of income is not among them. Some cities may have their own rules.
