When a landlord must start the process of evicting Las Vegas tenants, they must adhere to specific regulations. The length of time allowed for the notice period is determined by whether the eviction procedure is formal or informal, as well as whether there was a breach of contract or rental agreement violation. We’ll go through several of the most typical Nevada landlord eviction notifications, as well as some uncommon circumstances where they’re necessary.
If you rent a home, there are many tools available to help you understand your rights. The Nevada Civil Law Self Help Center is one of them.

If Your Tenants Won’t Pay Rent
It is critical for landlords to follow rigorous guidelines when delivering eviction notifications to tenants who have not paid their rent. A tenant in Nevada must be given written notice of at least seven days before an eviction can occur. This eviction notice should be sent by certified mail or hand delivery with proof of receipt from the renter, and if the rent is paid within a week, the tenant will be allowed to stay.
If Your Tenant Doesn’t Have a Rental Agreement
A tenancy-at-will is a type of residential tenancy in which a renter lives in an apartment or house that isn’t covered by a lease and doesn’t have to pay rent. This implies that the tenant has permission from the landlord to stay and agrees to depart when told to do so by the landlord. If a landlord wants one of these tenants to leave, he or she can just give an eviction notice, which includes a five-day right to quit, to any of them.
If Your Tenant Still Won’t Leave
If a renter fails to correct faults or vacate the rental property after receiving an eviction notice, unlawful detainer notices are issued as the next stage in the procedure. If a tenant is still on the premises after the first notification expires and is engaged in illegal behavior (drug use, prostitution, etc.), the landlord may serve this notice.
If You Just Want the Tenant to Vacate
It’s an unfortunate situation when a landlord is forced to give a “no cause” notice to evict a tenant who has been paying rent and appears to have done nothing wrong, but the landlord needs them to leave for one reason or another. Before being evicted, tenants are required to be given a 30-day written notice. A 5-day notice may be provided by the landlord after giving a 30-day notification.
If the renter is 60 years old or older and can produce proof of their age or if they have a physical or mental impairment, they may request to stay on the premises for an extra 30 days beyond the agreed term.
Other Eviction Scenarios
The landlord may use a three-day eviction notice if the tenant is a nuisance in the neighborhood, generates a lot of waste on the property, sells or produces drugs from it, runs an unlawful business from it, participates in illegal activities like prostitution at it, or leases to other tenants.
What Scenario Fits Your Eviction Situation?
Understanding the various situations in which a tenant eviction notice is required allows landlords to comply with all landlord-tenant laws and properly remove tenants. It’s never a pleasurable experience to have to evict someone. If you must do it, be sure you do it correctly. Both the landlord and the renter are harmed if the facts are misread.
