Let’s Talk New Mexico 5/25 8am: Recently, Albuquerque’s City Council voted down an ordinance that would have established a basic, online landlord registry meant to track data on rental units across the city. That has left advocates worried about the influence landlords have on the housing market.
On the next Let’s Talk New Mexico, we’ll explore the complex relationship between landlords and tenants plus ongoing efforts to regulate the industry. Are you frustrated with New Mexico’s rental housing market? What’s your experience with finding affordable housing in the state? Are you a renter or a landlord with ideas to help with the shortage of rentals?
