Nevada Eviction Notice for Unpaid Rent

What Nevada law says

• AB 283 section 2: deadline is the later of the seventh judicial day after service or the day after any federal notice period ends.
• The notice must require payment or surrender and say the landlord may apply by affidavit for summary eviction if the tenant does not comply.
• Service follows NRS 40.280: personal delivery; leaving with a suitable person plus mailing; or posting, delivery to a resident and mailing.
• AB 283 repeals NRS 40.253, the older procedure.

Steps for a landlord

• Confirm which procedure applies on your date, as AB 283 replaced NRS 40.253.
• Write a notice with the payment or surrender deadline.
• Serve it by an NRS 40.280 method.
• Keep proof of service.

What to put in the notice

• The names of the tenants and the address of the rental
• The amount of rent owed and the rental period it covers
• The number of days the tenant has to pay or move out, and the date that period ends
• The date, how the notice was delivered, and who delivered it
• Your name and contact details, with your signature

Things to watch

• The older 2006 court guide we read says five judicial days, so it is outdated for this. Check the current rule and effective date with an attorney.
• Judicial days exclude the service date, weekends and legal holidays per the 2006 court guide.
• Cities and counties can add their own rules, including rent control and extra notice requirements. Check your local rules too.
