In Nevada, you are required to provide a 30-day advance warning before filing for eviction in some circumstances. In many situations, however, you may remove a tenant with less notice. Today we’ll look at Nevada eviction schedules and the various types of behaviors that merit different kinds of eviction warnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a reminder, any schedules mentioned in this post should be interpreted as business days, not calendar days. Also, the day on which you give your tenant an eviction notice is not considered one of the days. Now, let’s get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you evict a tenant without just cause, you are required to give them a 30-day eviction to begin the eviction process. This implies that the eviction is not the result of any wrongdoing or breach of contract by the tenant. When the landlord wants to sell or occupy the property themselves, this is the most typical ground for serving eviction notices without cause. The renter must be given at least 30 days’ notice to quit in these situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These types of eviction notices are only valid for tenants who have ended their lease agreement. If your tenant is over the age of 60 years old or has a mental or physical disability, they are entitled to an additional 30 days to stay on the property if they can prove their age or status. Whether your tenant stays for 30 days or 60 days past the end of their lease, they must continue paying rent to you. You have the option to give them a seven-day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit if they do not pay rent during the extension unless the court says otherwise beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the tenant remains on the premises for 30 or 60 days and then refuses to depart, you can issue them a five-day Notice to Quit for Unlawful Detainer. This notice informs your tenant that their presence is now unlawful. It’s also worth noting that if your tenant pays rent weekly, you only need to give them a seven-day warning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are several circumstances in which it is not necessary to give your tenant a 30-day notice to quit. These are just a few of the most prevalent ones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your tenant is on a tenancy-at-will agreement, you’re only required to give them a five-day notice before pursuing eviction. If the tenant does not respond to the first five-day notification, you may issue them a second five-day Unlawful Detainer notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re not familiar with a tenancy-at-will, it basically implies that the tenant does not have a formal lease agreement with the landlord and may or may not pay rent to stay in your rental property. You’ll sometimes see a tenancy-at-will when people allow friends or relatives to stay in their rental home for an extended amount of time without paying rent, or without having a known expiration date for their stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is one of the sections where you may find descriptions for those “rogue” tenants. In Nevada, you are only required to provide a three-day notice to quit and a five-day Unlawful Detainer notice if the tenant refuses to leave if they engage in waste, illegal drug use, illegal business, subletting, or if they become a nuisance. This category covers situations where the tenant becomes disorderly, causes disturbances in the neighborhood, engages in unlawful activity, or damages or destroys property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
