What can I do as a owner
A: As the owner of a motel in New Mexico, if an individual has unlawfully entered one of your rooms, has not checked in or paid, and is refusing to leave, you have several courses of action available. First, contact local law enforcement to report the incident of trespassing and unauthorized occupancy. They can assess the situation, intervene as necessary, and enforce the law to remove the trespasser from your property. Document the incident by taking photos or videos and noting down details for potential legal purposes. Additionally, it's important to notify any other guests you may have, ensuring their safety and reassuring them that you are addressing the issue.
