It seems like you're facing eviction due to non-payment of rent. In New Mexico, some general rules include:
- Landlords must give a *-day notice before eviction for non-payment.
- Tenants can avoid eviction by paying due rent within those 3 days.
- A writ of restitution is issued when the eviction process is finalized in court.
