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.

Cited to NRS 118A.330 (1)-(4) and 2 more Nevada statutes · Verified July 10, 2026

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.

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.
