Nevada Rental Application Fees

Landlords and property owners must follow the Nevada Landlord and Tenant Act regarding application fees and security deposits. 

Application Fee – There is no limit to the application fee that a landlord can charge but landlords should make the application fee reasonable enough to cover the cost of processing the rental application.

Security Deposits – Nevada landlords can ask tenants for a security deposit to cover unpaid rent or potential damage caused by the tenant. According to Nevada state law, the security deposit cannot exceed three months’ rent.

Pet Deposits – There is no specific law governing pet deposits in Nevada therefore landlords are permitted to ask tenants for a reasonable pet deposit.

Rental Application Information for Landlords

Some of the types of information you may need to collect on your application include the following:

Salary or Income

You should always ensure the potential applicant makes enough money or has the financial resources to afford living on your property.

You are allowed to ask for the applicant’s salary or income level and where it comes from.

However, you cannot discriminate against the applicant based on where the money comes from. 

Prior Address History

How do you know the applicant is a good resident?

You may want to ask for prior rental history as well as permission to reach out to prior property owners to see what the resident was like. 

Authorization for Background Check

Of course, you want to ensure the applicant has a reliable history of paying his or her bills.

You might also be interested in the potential criminal background of the applicant. 

Wise landlords ask for authorization to conduct a background check and perform various credit and criminal history searches on tenants.

How to Conduct an Eviction Record Search in Nevada

Search the Nevada Justice Courts website to find the website of the county you want to search in.

From there, follow the steps listed on the county website to conduct an eviction search.

What to Include on a Nevada Rental Application

Some of the information you may want to collect on your application include:

  • Whether the applicant has any pets
  • Whether the applicant smokes
  • The current and past employment history of the applicant
  • How much money the applicant makes and where the money comes from 
  • A request for reference including those from prior landlords
  • A request for permission to run a credit check and background check

To ensure you do not miss anything, we offer a Nevada rental application template to expedite the process.

Other Landlord Resources

The Nevada Fair Housing Law provides equal housing opportunity without discrimination based on race, religious creed, color, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, ancestry, familial status, or sex. 

Nevada Sex Offender Registry

Avoid Nevada Housing Discrimination Lawsuits

You need to use a Nevada rental application template to ensure you collect the necessary information without violating the rights of your applicants.

For example, the U.S. Justice Department filed a lawsuit against the owners of several Carson City, Nevada rental properties.

The allegations indicate that the property owners may have violated the Federal Fair Housing Act by discriminating against families with children. Be careful when you screen applicants and ensure you don’t open yourself up to potential lawsuits.
