ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- The New Mexico Supreme Court will not be expanding its eviction moratorium order despite calls from legal advocacy groups.
The State Supreme Court moratorium protects New Mexicans from eviction for non-payment of rent, but as KOB 4 first reported in early December, New Mexicans sent a letter to the New Mexico Supreme Court asking them to close a loophole that allows for landlords to remove tenants from their homes by not renewing their lease.
Kyle Stephens is one of the concerned tenants. We have been through hell the last two years, Stephens said. After losing our house, living in and out of motels. We finally found this place and this place is great!
