Tenant gave landlord 30 day notice to vacate, landlord gave tenant 3 day notice of eviction, NM landlord tenant law

I practice law in Washington state, rather than in New Mexico. You should review your lease to determine when and under what conditions you are able to terminate it. Here in Washington if you are on a month-to-month lease you must give at least one full month's notice. If you pay rent on the first of the month then you must give the notice prior to the first of the next month in order for it to be effective at the end of the next month. In Washington and probably in New Mexico the landlord's 3 day notice must spell out what you did wrong and give you at least three days to correct the problem or vacate in order for it to serve as the basis for a legal eviction action. If your lease provides for a cure period longer than three days than the landlord's notice must give you the longer period in which to comply or vacate.
