How much notice must a landlord give before entering in Nevada?

Verified July 10, 2026 All Nevada topics →

Nevada landlords must give tenants at least 24 hours' notice before entering a rental and may enter only at reasonable times during normal business hours — unless the tenant expressly agrees to shorter notice or an off-hours visit for that particular entry, or there is an emergency, when no notice or consent is needed.

Lawful purposes are inspecting the premises, making necessary or agreed repairs and improvements, supplying services, and showing the unit to prospective buyers, lenders, tenants, workers, or contractors, and tenants may not unreasonably refuse such entry. Outside those purposes a landlord may enter only with a court order, after the tenant abandons or surrenders the unit, or to fix damage or cleaning problems the tenant failed to remedy after 14 days' written notice. The statute also forbids using the right of access to harass the tenant, and it has stood unchanged since 1977.

Nevada entry notice at a glance

Advance notice required 24 hours
Notice standard At least 24 hours' notice of intent to enter, and entry only at reasonable times during normal business hours, unless the tenant expressly consents to shorter notice or to nonbusiness-hours entry for the particular entry (NRS 118A.330(3)). The statute does not require the notice to be written, and 'normal business hours' is not defined.
Permitted reasons The tenant may not unreasonably withhold consent for the landlord peaceably to enter to: inspect the premises; make necessary or agreed repairs, decorating, alterations or improvements; supply necessary or agreed services; or exhibit the unit to prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, tenants, workers, contractors or other persons with a bona fide interest in inspecting it (NRS 118A.330(1)). Beyond that, entry is allowed only under court order, after abandonment or surrender, or under NRS 118A.440 (entry to fix the tenant's own unremedied failure to repair or clean after 14 days' written notice, or more promptly in an emergency) (118A.330(4)).
Emergency exception Yes
Time-of-day restrictions Reasonable times during normal business hours only, unless the tenant expressly consents to entry during nonbusiness hours for that particular entry (NRS 118A.330(3)). No clock hours are fixed and 'normal business hours' is undefined.

Notes and caveats

Two points page copy should carry because secondary sources routinely drop them: (1) the 'during normal business hours' limitation — Nevada is stricter than the generic '24 hours, reasonable times' rendering, though the term is undefined and the tenant can consent around it per-entry; (2) the statute does NOT require written notice (many summaries silently add a writing requirement — written notice is best practice only). The tenant-side duty not to unreasonably withhold consent (118A.330(1)) cuts against tenants who blanket-refuse showings. NRS 118A.330 has never been amended (added 1977) — the one section in this record with zero legislative churn.

Statute citations

How this record was verified: Direct read of statute text on the official Nevada Legislature site (leg.state.nv.us NRS-118A.html, Rev. 4/15/2026, codified through the 2025 session): NRS 118A.242, 118A.240, 118A.300, 118A.210 and 118A.330 each read on the official page and independently re-read on the codes.findlaw.com mirror (current through 1/1/2025); every load-bearing number matched verbatim across both reads. Session laws read in full from official archive PDFs: enrolled AB 308 (2021) confirming the 45-to-60-day and 15-to-30-day rent-notice change (Sec. 7, eff. 7/1/2021) and the 3-calendar-day late-fee grace period (Sec. 2); enrolled AB 121 (2025, all-in rent pricing, eff. 10/1/2025, confirmed codified); enrolled AB 223 (2025) read and confirmed VETOED (its changes absent from the official codified text). 2025 regular-session and 36th Special Session outcomes checked 2026-07-10; Nevada's biennial legislature has no 2026 regular session.
