Nevada landlord-tenant laws, governed by NRS Chapter 118A, balance rights for renters and owners, with no rent control but strict habitability and eviction rules. Tenants enjoy protections like 14-day repair timelines, while landlords can charge up to three months’ rent as security deposits. Recent 2025 updates via AB 121 mandate fee disclosures to boost transparency.
Tenant Rights
Renters get habitable units with working utilities; unrepaired issues allow rent withholding or lease termination after notice. Landlords must return deposits within 30 days, itemizing deductions, and provide move-in checklists.
Landlord Obligations
Owners handle major repairs promptly and respect quiet entry rules (24-hour notice except emergencies). Late fees cap at 5% of monthly rent; evictions require 7-day pay-or-quit notices for nonpayment.
