Which New Mexico law applies?
New Mexico has two state laws for renting a space for a mobile home. Which one applies depends on the size of the park.
At Ridge Road Mobile Park: the park has 144 spaces, so the Mobile Home Park Act applies.
Parks with 12 or more occupied mobile homes
The Mobile Home Park Act (NMSA 1978, Chapter 47, Article 10) applies. It protects residents who own their mobile home and rent a space in the park. The Uniform Owner-Resident Relations Act also applies wherever it does not conflict with the Mobile Home Park Act (Section 47-10-18).
Parks with fewer than 12 occupied mobile homes
The Mobile Home Park Act does not apply, because it defines a mobile home park as a property with 12 or more occupied mobile homes (Section 47-10-2). Renting a space for a mobile home is covered by the Uniform Owner-Resident Relations Act (NMSA 1978, Chapter 47, Article 8).
