Does New Mexico require interest on security deposits?

Pay yearly interest on deposits over one month's rent. On a lease of one year or longer where the security deposit is more than one month's rent, New Mexico law requires paying the resident interest on the deposit every year, so a yearly reminder keeps that payment from being missed.
