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	Entry must also fall at a reasonable time during normal business hours, unless the tenant expressly consents to shorter notice or to a nonbusiness-hours visit for that particular entry (NRS 118A.330(3)). The statute requires at least 24 hours' notice of intent to enter. It does not require that notice to be written, and 'normal business hours' is not defined.
Permitted reasons	A landlord may enter to inspect the premises, make necessary or agreed repairs, decorations, alterations or improvements, supply necessary or agreed services, or show the unit — and for those purposes the tenant may not unreasonably withhold consent to a peaceable entry (NRS 118A.330(1)). Showings cover prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, tenants, workers, contractors or other persons with a bona fide interest in inspecting the unit. Beyond those purposes, 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	Entry is limited to reasonable times during normal business hours, unless the tenant expressly consents to a nonbusiness-hours visit for that particular entry (NRS 118A.330(3)). No clock hours are fixed, and 'normal business hours' is undefined.

Notes and caveats

Normal business hours, not just 'reasonable times' — Nevada is stricter than the generic '24 hours, reasonable times' rendering that secondary sources use: entry must be at reasonable times during normal business hours. The term is undefined, and the tenant can consent around it for a particular entry.
The notice does not have to be in writing — The statute does not require the 24-hour notice to be written; many summaries silently add a writing requirement. Written notice is best practice only.
Tenants may not blanket-refuse entry — NRS 118A.330(1) bars a tenant from unreasonably withholding consent, which cuts against tenants who refuse all showings.
A statute with zero legislative churn — NRS 118A.330 has never been amended since it was added in 1977.
The lease has to say what the landlord's inspection rights are — Nevada does not leave entry entirely to the statute. Any written rental agreement must contain provisions on a listed set of subjects, and one of them is the inspection rights of the landlord. Using a written agreement that does not conform to that section is unlawful, and a provision that contradicts it is void. The statutory 24-hour notice still applies whatever the agreement says, because a rental agreement may not make the tenant waive rights or remedies under the landlord and tenant act.

Correction, October 2, 2026 — Notice periods now print in the unit each statute uses (correction). Entry notice: the statutes of Alabama, Arizona, Hawaii, Kentucky, Rhode Island and Washington say two days and Oklahoma's says one day, and those pages show days; Delaware's and Vermont's say 48 hours, and their pages, which had shown 2 days, now show 48 hours. Eviction notice for unpaid rent: California, Florida and Utah give three days that leave out Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, and their pages now show 3 business days, as does California's lease-violation notice; Nevada's shows 7 judicial days; Alabama's two notices show 7 business days. Each statute was read on its official site on October 1, 2026. No period changed.

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. 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. September 5, 2026 addendum: the decisive figures touched by the 2025-2026 enactments reviewed that day were re-read on the official host — NRS 118A.200 and 118A.349 on leg.state.nv.us; the earlier reads stand as recorded. On October 1, 2026 every section the security deposit, rent increase, late fee and entry answers rest on was read again on leg.state.nv.us (chapter 118A, still stamped Rev. 4/15/2026 and codified through the 2025 session; no session of any kind was held in 2026), together with chapter 118B on manufactured home parks, NRS 244.137 to 244.146 and 268.001 to 268.0035 on county and city powers, the enrolled bills and the Statutes of Nevada for the acts named here, and the codes of Las Vegas, Henderson, Reno, North Las Vegas, Sparks, Carson City, Clark County and Washoe County for rent regulation.
