Does New Mexico have its own ESA law?
Educational content, not legal advice. For your specific situation, consult a state-licensed attorney.
What the law says
NMSA 1978, § 28-1-7 (Human Rights Act) bars disability discrimination in housing and defines reasonable accommodation; § 28-11-6 misrepresentation is service-animal-only.
In plain language
Not a dedicated one — New Mexico’s Human Rights Act carries the FHA-style accommodation duty that covers emotional-support animals in housing, but the state has no separate ESA statute (its animal-fraud law applies only to service animals). A legitimate letter from a licensed provider supports the accommodation. This is general information, not legal advice — consult a New Mexico-licensed attorney about your situation.
