Nevada Landlord-Tenant Laws

Verified July 10, 2026

Nevada Security deposits

Nevada caps everything held as security — the security deposit, any surety bond, and prepaid last month's rent combined — at three months' periodic rent, and the landlord must return the balance with an itemized written accounting no later than 30 days after the tenancy ends.

Nevada Rent increase notice

Nevada landlords cannot increase rent unless they serve the tenant with written notice at least 60 days before the first increased rental payment — or 30 days for periodic tenancies shorter than one month, such as week-to-week.

Nevada Entry notice

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.

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.
