Nevada tenant law, at a glance

Nevada returns deposits within 30 days after the tenancy ends (NRS 118A.242). For tenancies longer than week-to-week, no late fee may be charged until at least 3 calendar days after rent is due, and the fee may not exceed 5% of periodic rent (NRS 118A.210). Landlords must give 24 hours' notice before entry, and self-help evictions are illegal — illegally locked-out tenants can sue to regain access and for damages (NRS 118A.390).
