Governed by the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS Chapter 118A), originally enacted in 1977, Nevada mandates several specific disclosures and procedural notifications that landlords must adhere to before, during, and at the termination of a tenancy. Failing to provide these disclosures limits a landlord's legal standing in justice court.
1. 24-Hour Notice of Entry
Under Nevada law (NRS 118A.330), a landlord cannot simply show up at the property and demand entry. Except in cases of a genuine emergency, a landlord must provide the tenant with at least 24 hours' advance notice before entering the rental unit to make repairs, inspect the premises, or show the unit to prospective buyers or renters. Entry must also occur during "reasonable times" (typically standard business hours).
2. 30-Day Notice for Rule Changes
Pursuant to NRS 118A.320, a landlord may adopt new rules or regulations regarding the tenant’s use and occupancy of the premises after the lease has been signed. However, if the new rule substantially modifies the tenant's original bargain (e.g., banning parking in the driveway or restricting pool hours), the landlord must provide a 30-day written notice before the rule becomes enforceable.
3. Pending Foreclosure Disclosure
If the rental property is subject to pending foreclosure proceedings, the landlord must disclose this fact in writing to any prospective new tenant before they sign a lease or pay a deposit (NRS 118A.275). Failing to disclose a pending foreclosure is a serious violation; the tenant may be able to break the lease immediately and recover damages.
4. Name and Address of Authorized Parties
According to NRS 118A.260, the lease agreement must clearly disclose the name and address of the person authorized to manage the premises, as well as the name and address of an owner of the premises (or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner for the purpose of service of process).
5. Non-Refundable Fee Designation
Under Nevada law (NRS 118A.242(8)), except for a reasonable nonrefundable charge for cleaning, no rental agreement may contain any provision characterizing any security deposit as nonrefundable or any provision waiving or modifying a tenant's rights regarding security deposits. Any such provision is void as contrary to public policy. If a fee is not explicitly designated as a nonrefundable charge for cleaning, it will be treated as a refundable security deposit subject to the 30-day return rule.
6. Federal Lead Paint Disclosure
Like all states, Nevada landlords renting properties built prior to 1978 must comply with the federal lead-based paint disclosure law. Landlords must provide the EPA-approved information pamphlet and attach a lead warning statement to the lease.
7. Summary of NRS 202.470
According to NRS 118A.200(3)(l), any written rental agreement must contain a summary of the provisions of NRS 202.470, which outlines unlawful acts concerning controlled substances, prostitution, and other nuisances on the premises.

Frequently Asked Questions
▶What disclosures must Nevada landlords provide to tenants?
Nevada landlords must provide certain disclosures to tenants before or at the time of lease signing. Common required disclosures include lead-based paint hazards (for pre-1978 buildings, a federal requirement), the identity of the landlord or property manager, and any known material defects in the property. Additional state-specific disclosures may include flood risk, mold hazards, and environmental conditions.
▶What are the Nevada landlord-tenant laws every property owner should know?
Residential tenancies in Nevada are primarily governed by Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 118A. Unlike states with heavy tenant protections, Nevada maintains a relatively balanced approach, featuring unique "summary eviction" procedures that expedite court filings for landlords, while still strictly enforcing caps on security deposits and late fees to protect tenants. This guide covers the essential compliance requirements for property owners and landlords.
Read the complete guide▶What is the Nevada eviction process and how long does it take?
The Nevada eviction process requires landlords to provide written notice to tenants before filing a court action. The type and length of notice depends on the reason for eviction — typically shorter for non-payment of rent and longer for lease violations or no-fault terminations. Self-help evictions (changing locks, removing belongings, shutting off utilities) are illegal in Nevada. The full court process varies but typically takes several weeks.
Read the complete guide▶What are the Nevada security deposit rules and return deadlines?
Nevada has specific rules governing how much landlords can charge for security deposits, how deposits must be held, and the deadline for returning deposits after a tenant moves out. Landlords must provide an itemized statement of any deductions made from the deposit. Failure to comply with deposit return deadlines can result in penalties and the forfeiture of the landlord's right to claim deductions.
Read the complete guide▶What are the Nevada rent increase laws and caps for landlords?
Nevada has specific rules governing when and how landlords can increase rent. During a fixed-term lease, rent generally cannot be increased unless the lease explicitly allows it. For month-to-month tenancies, landlords must provide proper written notice before an increase takes effect. Check whether Nevada has any local rent control ordinances that may impose additional caps or requirements.
Read the complete guide▶What is the grace period for late rent in Nevada?
Nevada has specific rules regarding grace periods for late rent and the amount that can be charged as a late fee. Late fee provisions must be stated in the lease agreement, and fees must be reasonable. Check Nevada state law and any applicable local ordinances for the exact grace period and late fee limits that apply to your rental property.
Read the complete guide▶What are the Nevada lease requirements for rental properties?
Nevada recognizes both written and oral leases, though written leases are strongly recommended for terms longer than one year. Lease agreements should include the rent amount, payment due date, security deposit terms, maintenance responsibilities, and rules regarding entry, pets, and subletting. Certain lease clauses that waive tenant statutory rights may be void and unenforceable under Nevada law.
Read the complete guide▶What are Nevada landlord maintenance obligations and habitability standards?
Nevada landlords must maintain rental properties in a condition that is fit for habitation and complies with applicable building, housing, and health codes. This includes maintaining structural integrity, plumbing, heating and cooling systems, electrical systems, and pest control. Tenants typically have the right to request repairs in writing, and if repairs are not made within a reasonable time, tenants may have legal remedies available.
