Since there is no lease, you are a month to month tenant, and unless she can provide documentation to prove otherwise, no amount of money or lawyers can change that. If you really are a normal tenant, and it's not a vacation rental, go to her and offer to leave by the 10th if she will not charge you for July and pay all your moving expenses. Otherwise, she has to give you 30 days (in writing), starting July 1st. If she still bullies you, stop talking to her and DO EVERYTHING IN WRITING. Write her a letter(certified with return receipt) and tell her to stop harrassing you, and if she wants you out earlier, she needs to give you proper notice according to NM law. If she wants to blow a wad on lawyers so she can lose this case, let her. It makes me sick when tenants threaten to sue when they are in the wrong. They think Landlords are afraid of court. I keep excellent records and do everything that is required of me. So, I welcome it. The same goes for a Landlord that thinks they can say the word "sue" and everyone will just roll over for them.
