Rental Agreement
-
Renters in Nevada are entitled to a rental agreement that states terms such as the duration of the lease, the amount and due date of rent payments, authorized occupants -- including children -- deposits required, services included and the inspection rights of the landlord. The agreement must be signed by all tenants. It is illegal for any landlord to rent out a property without an oral or written rental agreement.
Rules of Landlord
-
Any rules that are set by the landlord that are not explicitly detailed in the rental agreement are only binding if the purpose of the rule is to promote the convenience and safety of the renter or renters and it applies to all tenants fairly. Such rules may not be for the purpose of avoiding any landlord obligations and must not affect the way in which rent is paid, including its amount and when it's due. Tenants must be given sufficient notice of such new rules.
-
Landlord Access
-
In Nevada, tenants cannot unreasonably prevent a landlord from peacefully entering the dwelling during the specified duration of the rental agreement if the landlord is attempting to make a repair, supply agreed upon services or inspect the property. Those are the only circumstances in which a landlord is allowed to enter an occupied dwelling during the duration of the rental agreement without a court order in Nevada.
