Renting in Taos: good to know
- See it before you pay. Never wire money or send a deposit for a place you haven’t seen with someone who can show you inside. Rental scams copy real photos from other sites.
- Ask about heat. Winters are cold at 7,000 feet. Ask whether propane, wood or electric heat is included, and what last winter’s bills were.
- Deposits have limits. Under New Mexico’s Owner-Resident Relations Act, a deposit on a lease shorter than a year can’t be more than one month’s rent, and it must be returned with an itemized list of any deductions within 30 days after you move out (NMSA 47-8-18).
- Families are protected. Under the Fair Housing Act a landlord can’t refuse to rent to you because you have children, or because of race, color, religion, sex, disability or national origin.
- Get it in writing. Keep a copy of the lease, take dated photos when you move in, and pay rent in a way that leaves a record.
