What is a Lease Agreement?

In a lease agreement, a property owner agrees to rent all (or a portion of) their residential property to a tenant for a fee and the tenant agrees to pay.

The landlord and tenant promise to follow the terms and conditions outlined in the agreement.

What to Include in a Nevada Residential Rental Agreement

Federal and state law mandate that landlords, including those in Nevada, consist of specific details in their lease agreements. These details include:

  • Tenant/Landlord Details: names and current addresses of both the tenant and landlord (you should have the tenant’s information from your Rental Application)
  • Premises: the address of the premises being rented
  • Pets: whether pets are allowed, and any other pet-related rules
  • Health Hazards: any known health and safety hazards or risks
  • Rent Specifics: the amount of the monthly payment, when to pay rent and methods for rent payment
  • Late Fees and Grace Periods: Any late fee or grace period that applies to paying rent after the due date
  • Security Deposit: the amount of the security deposit (if required), how it will be used and when it will be returned at the end of the lease
  • Lease term: the length of the lease (e.g., 12 months)

States differ in their leasing and rental requirements. Familiarize yourself with Nevada’s landlord-tenant laws to protect your legal and financial rights.

Nevada Landlord and Tenant Laws for Lease Agreements

Nevada has specific regulations for landlords and tenants entering into a rental agreement. Some major regulations are as follows:

Relevant Landlord and Tenant Laws:

  • Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS), Chapter 118A

Security Deposit:

  • A landlord can collect up to three (3) months’ rent for a security deposit from a tenant when entering into a leasing contract. (NRS § 118A.242(1))
  • A landlord must return a tenant’s security deposit within thirty (30) days after the end of the lease along with a written statement itemizing any deductions taken for rent, repairs for damages caused by the tenant other than normal wear and reasonable costs of cleaning. (NRS § 118A.242(4))

Landlord Right of Entry:

  • A landlord must provide at least twenty-four (24) hours advance notice to a tenant before entering the rental property except for cases of emergency. (NRS § 118A.330)

Additional Resources:

  • Nevada Judiciary Landlord-Tenant Handbook – addresses Nevada landlord-tenant issues and questions
  • Nevada Legal Services’ Tenants’ Rights Center – provides legal services and education  about landlord and tenant matters
