Chapter 56 - Commercial Instruments and Transactions
Article 15 - Uniform Assignment of Rents
Section 56-15-8 - Enforcement by notification to assignor.

A. Upon the assignor's default, or as otherwise agreed by the assignor, the assignee may give the assignor a notification demanding that the assignor pay over the proceeds of any rents that the assignee is entitled to collect pursuant to Section 6 [56-15-6 NMSA 1978] of the Uniform Assignment of Rents Act. The assignee shall also give a copy of the notification to any other person that, ten days before the notification date, held a recorded assignment of rents arising from the real property.

B. If an assignee enforces an assignment of rents pursuant to this section, the date of enforcement is the date on which the assignor receives a notification pursuant to Subsection A of this section.

C. An assignee's failure to give a notification pursuant to Subsection A of this section to any person holding a recorded assignment of rents does not affect the effectiveness of the notification as to the assignor, but the other person is entitled to any relief permitted pursuant to any law of New Mexico other than the Uniform Assignment of Rents Act.

D. An assignee that holds a security interest in rents solely by virtue of Subsection A of Section 4 [56-15-4 NMSA 1978] of the Uniform Assignment of Rents Act shall not enforce the security interest pursuant to this section while the assignor occupies the real property as the assignor's primary residence.
