What are the steps to evict a tenant for unpaid rent in Nevada?

In Nevada, an eviction for unpaid rent runs through 5 steps, each set by the statute or court rule beside it: (1) Serve a 7-day pay-or-quit notice — NRS 40.253(1); (2) Serve a 5-day unlawful detainer notice — NRS 40.253(3); (3) File the landlord’s complaint and affidavit — NRS 40.253(5); (4) The tenant’s affidavit — NRS 40.253(3)(b)(1); (5) Order for removal, executed by the constable within 24 hours — NRS 40.253(5)(a). In Nevada’s summary eviction the landlord serves a notice, the TENANT must file an affidavit to be heard, and there is often no hearing at all if they do not. Nevada also requires a landlord to accept rent tendered before the notice period expires. The procedure as a whole is set by NRS 40.253, 40.2512, 118A.390; JCRLV Rule 44.

This is a summary of the published procedure, not legal advice. Courts, local rules and the facts of a tenancy change what applies, and a defect in a notice or a filing can end a case. Have a lawyer review anything before it is served or filed.

How Seayora uses this rule

Seayora does not file, serve or appear in an eviction, and is not anybody’s lawyer. When a tenant has stopped paying, it lays out these steps for the property’s own state and city with the statute beside each one, holds back any step that would come too early, keeps an append-only record of the case — and shows the resident what would end it, legal-aid links included.
