If Law Enforcement Can't Remove Them, We Will!

A squatter is someone who takes possession of a piece of property she does not own or rent — usually an abandoned building. Nevada law defines a squatter as someone living in residence or on land owned by someone else without the owner’s permission. Squatters can gain legal property rights by meeting adverse possession claim requirements, including living on a property for five continuous years.

If law enforcement cannot remove an unlawful and unauthorized occupant, we will serve them with a 4-day Notice to Surrender. This notice informs the squatter that they must leave the property within four days if they do not intend to file an affidavit in opposition to their removal. If they fail to comply, we will proceed with a standard eviction.

What to Know About Squatters and the Notice to Surrender

When an unauthorized occupant, or squatter, is living in a property without the owner’s permission, Nevada law enforcement can’t always remove them. The owner can serve the squatter with a 4-day surrender notice in these cases. This notice gives the squatter four days to leave the property before law enforcement is enlisted for retaking possession and removing them. If they fail to comply, the owner can proceed with a standard eviction. NMI Evictions can help you remove a squatter legally and quickly.

  • A squatter is a person who enters an unoccupied or occupied dwelling without the owner’s permission, referred to as unlawful occupancy.

  • Squatting in commercial structures or automobiles is not a violation of this law, but another criminal offense, such as trespassing and burglary, applies. There is no breaking and entering requirement for squatters.

  • Unless a suspect has current contact information for the owner or a rental agreement, Nevada law presumes someone who does not have permission to live on a property is a squatter.

  • Nevada’s Unlawful Occupancy statute allows police to arrest a squatter and charge them with a gross misdemeanor. Before the police can make an arrest, homeowners must complete the legal eviction procedure.

Squatters are people who take possession of property without the consent of the owner or tenant. Holdover tenants are people who remain on a property after their lease has expired or been terminated. Squatters are subject to a civil eviction process, while a holdover tenant can be subject to criminal prosecution.

Holdover tenants are people who reside on a property for more than the duration of their rental agreement. When they get a notice to vacate or move, they must vacate the premises or face an unlawful detainer lawsuit, commonly known as eviction. If holdover tenants have been given the notice to leave, they are considered criminal trespassers and may not make an adverse possession claim.
