Nevada Landlord Compliance Kit: Deposit, Notice and Eviction Checklists with an Excel Tracker

Who it is for

Landlords and property managers with rentals in Nevada, and tenants who want the same record, from move-in through move-out or a court case.

Not the right fit if

Your rental is outside Nevada: get that state's kit. Not legal advice, not a lawyer's review of a lease, notice or court case, and not a set of legal notice forms; city and county rules aren't covered.

Why it is different

• Built only from our Nevada data files, checked November 2026 against 4 official pages, among them Nevada Legislature: NRS chapter 118A (118A.242); Nevada Supreme Court: Tenant General Instructions to Contest a Summary Eviction, Forms 13-16 (rev. April 14, 2006); Nevada Judicial Branch: How to File a Small Claims Case; Nevada AOC: Small Claims Court.
• 12 items the official pages didn't state are marked "not confirmed" with the page to check, never guessed.
• The workbook recalculates with zero formula errors and works out Nevada notice and deposit dates for you.

What is inside

• Start here. How to use the kit, the 11 confirmed Nevada rules at a glance and the 12 items to confirm: interest on the deposit, where the deposit is held, ending month-to-month (landlord), ending month-to-month (tenant), unpaid rent notice, filing fee, time to answer or appear, hearing after filing and more, each with the official page to check.
• Nevada landlord rules checklist. Deposits, notice periods, the eviction case and the small claims limit, each confirmed rule with its source link and check date. What it confirms: deposit limit: Deposits and surety bonds together no more than three months' periodic rent (118A.242(1)); return deadline: No later than 30 days after the tenancy ends: an itemized written accounting and any remaining deposit, sent to the tenant's present or last known address (118A.242(4)); itemized list of deductions: An itemized, written accounting of the disposition of the deposit or surety bond (118A.242(4)); penalty the law states: The entire deposit, plus up to the amount of the entire deposit as the court sets (118A.242(6)-(7)); rent increase notice: Periodic tenancy: written notice 60 days ahead (30 days for a periodic tenancy shorter than a month); entry notice: At least 24 hours' notice, at reasonable times during normal business hours, except emergencies; late fee limits: No more than 5% of the periodic rent; court: The Justice Court for the township where the rental is.
• Move-in and move-out deposit checklist. A room-by-room condition checklist for both visits and the steps after move-out, with Nevada's return deadline (within 30 days).
• Notice calendar. When each notice must go out: the lead time for every notice the state's text confirms, with a 2027 month-by-month serve-by table worked out with our notice date calculator's rules.
• Eviction timeline sheet. The Nevada case in order from notice to lockout, with each confirmed stage, an example dated from a sample filing day where the rules give periods, and blanks for your own case dates.
• Nevada landlord workbook (Excel). A tenant notice log that dates each notice from the Nevada rules, a deposit tracker that works out the return date for each move-out, and a rent ledger with a running balance.
