Nevada Eviction Notice FAQs
-
Am I legally allowed to evict my tenant(s) for past-due rent in Nevada?
Normally, yes. You can make a Nevada Eviction Notice (specifically called a 7-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit) to initiate the process. That said, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, several limitations have been established for tenants who can't pay rent. Despite the fact that the federal ban on eviction has been blocked, the state of Nevada and individual municipalities have the authority to create and enforce their own guidelines for residential evictions. Check out the talk to a lawyer for further insight.
-
Should a landlord use an Eviction Notice in Nevada?
If you wish to evict a tenant from your Nevada rental property, you are required to always give them a Notice of Eviction. Some of the reasons behind why you might need to use one are:
- The tenant is behind on rent or they are routinely late
- The tenant gets a subletter against the rental terms
- The tenant has caused excessive damage to the unit
- The tenant harasses or disturbs the quiet enjoyment of the other renters
- The tenant is using their unit for illegal activity
- The tenant violates your pet policy
In addition to violations, renters typically may be evicted by their landlord for reasons that are not related to their personal conduct, such as when the owner wants to move in. Please keep in mind the list above is not totally exhaustive and that the lawfully accepted reasons for evicting a tenant may be different based on your specific city or municipality, among other factors. If you've got any questions or concerns about Nevada eviction laws, ask a lawyer.

How will Nevada eviction laws impact me as a landlord?
The law can change over time and the actual eviction procedure can be rather nuanced for a first-timer. In certain instances, there may be different notice periods or other requirements based on how long the tenant has occupied the unit and what the reason is for eviction. With that in mind, it's strongly recommended that all landlords speak with a local eviction attorney when drafting a Notice of Eviction to any tenant in Nevada.

How long does the Nevada eviction process typically take end to end?
The duration of the eviction process for Nevada renters will generally depend on the notice requirements, as well as the overall volume of cases happening at the same time. Here is a general overview of Nevada notice periods:
- Past-due rent: 7-day notice
- Non-compliance with terms: 5-day notice
- No direct fault: 30-day notice
After the pre-defined notice period, the actual eviction may still take between 2 weeks and 2 months. It is important to note that with particular kinds of housing, including where the rent is subsidized, the mandated notice period is often even longer.
