ESA Laws in New Mexico

In New Mexico, both state and federal laws protect ESAs, allowing individuals with qualifying conditions to live with their ESAs without discrimination.

These protections require landlords to make reasonable accommodations for tenants with emotional support animals.

ESA Law Protections in New Mexico

Under the Housing Act FHA, landlords must accommodate tenants with valid ESA letters, even in properties with "no pets" policies. 

  • No Additional Fees or Deposits: Landlords cannot charge extra fees, such as pet deposits or monthly pet rent, for tenants with emotional support animals.
  • Reasonable Accommodations: Landlords are required to make reasonable accommodations for tenants with ESAs. This is in the case that the animal does not pose a direct threat to others or cause significant property damage.
  • Public Access: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) grants service animals access to public places like restaurants and stores. However, ESAs do not have the same rights unless they are specifically trained to perform tasks related to a disability.

While the FHA guarantees housing rights, it does not extend access rights to public places like restaurants, retail stores, or other non-housing areas. 

ESA Regiseration

Travel Laws for ESA in New Mexico

Under the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA), emotional support animals are no longer guaranteed free travel privileges as of the updated regulations in 2021. Only qualified service animals trained to perform specific tasks for individuals with disabilities are now protected under the ACAA. However, some airlines may still accommodate ESAs voluntarily, provided passengers comply with their specific policies.

If an airline allows ESAs, the following restrictions typically apply:

  • Only service animals are protected under the ACAA.
  • Airlines may restrict large or aggressive breeds.
  • Advance notice (typically 48 hours) is often required.
  • ESA documentation, such as a valid letter, may be needed.
  • Some airlines require ESAs to stay in approved carriers.
  • Additional pet fees may apply for ESA transport.

Check with your airline in advance to understand their policies and ensure a hassle-free trip with your emotional support animal.
