Nevada Landlord-Tenant Laws
Local rent regulation in Nevada
No Nevada statute expressly addresses local rent control — state law neither authorizes nor prohibits cities or counties from regulating residential rents, and no Nevada locality has enacted rent control.

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 Late fees
Nevada caps residential late fees at 5 percent of the periodic rent, and in any tenancy longer than week-to-week no late fee may be imposed until at least 3 calendar days after rent is due.
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.
Nevada Eviction process
To evict a Nevada tenant for unpaid rent, serve a written notice giving seven judicial days to pay or move out, then - if the tenant neither pays nor files an affidavit contesting it with the justice court named in the notice - file an affidavit of complaint for summary eviction, and the court can order removal without ever holding a hearing.
Nevada mobile home park laws
Nevada's manufactured home park act, NRS chapter 118B, governs the tenancy of a resident who owns the home and rents the lot beneath it in a park of two or more lots, and its three headline rules are a 90-day written notice before any lot-rent increase, termination only on the grounds the act lists, and at least 180 days' notice before a park may close or change use.

Changes since last full verification
The Verified date above (July 10, 2026) marks the last time every figure on this page was verified end-to-end against official state sources. The changes below were published since then, each verified against the official source it names (what these dates mean).
- Correction, August 5, 2026 — Corrected Nevada's description of the 2025 legislative session: AB 121 amended only NRS 118A.200 and added the new payment-method (NRS 118A.303) and application-fee (NRS 118A.306) sections, while SB 114 added the new key-control section NRS 118A.332 rather than amending NRS 118A.335. Confirmed no 2025 enactment touches any Nevada eviction statute.
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 key 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.
