A. Unless otherwise agreed by the assignee, and subject to Subsection C of this section, an assignee that collects rents following enforcement pursuant to Section 8 or 9 [56-15-8, 56-15-9 NMSA 1978] of the Uniform Assignment of Rents Act need not apply them to the payment of expenses of protecting or maintaining the real property subject to the assignment.
B. Unless a tenant has made an enforceable agreement not to assert claims or defenses, the right of the assignee to collect rents from the tenant is subject to the terms of the agreement between the assignor and tenant and any claim or defense arising from the assignor's nonperformance of that agreement.
C. The Uniform Assignment of Rents Act does not limit the standing or right of a tenant to request a court to appoint a receiver for the real property subject to the assignment or to seek other relief on the grounds that the assignee's nonpayment of expenses of protecting or maintaining the real property has caused or threatened harm to the tenant's interest in the property. Whether the tenant is entitled to the appointment of a receiver or other relief is governed by any law of New Mexico other than the Uniform Assignment of Rents Act.
