Known as the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act

The act spans §§ 118–118 (76 sections).

(Added to NRS by 1977, 1336; A 2019, 3189)

1. A tenant shall, as basic obligations under this chapter:

(a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, comply with the terms of the rental agreement;

(b) Keep that part of the premises which is occupied and used as clean and safe as the condition of the premises permit;

(c) Dispose of all ashes, garbage, rubbish and other waste from the dwelling unit in a clean and safe manner;

(d) Keep all plumbing fixtures in the dwelling unit as clean as their condition permits;

(e) Use in a reasonable manner all electrical, plumbing, sanitary, heating, ventilating, air-conditioning and other facilities and appliances, including elevators, in the premises;

(f) Not deliberately or negligently render the premises uninhabitable or destroy, deface, damage, impair or remove any part of the premises or knowingly permit any person to do so; and

(g) Conduct himself or herself and require other persons on the premises with his or her consent to conduct themselves in a manner that will not disturb a neighbor’s peaceful enjoyment of the premises.

2. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 118A.315:

(a) Any term of a rental agreement requiring the payment of rent at a specified time pursuant to NRS 118A.210 is unenforceable against a tenant who is a federal worker, tribal worker, state worker or household member of such a worker during a shutdown. As used in this paragraph, “household member” has the meaning ascribed to it in NRS 40.0025.

(b) If the terms of a rental agreement require the payment of rent at a specified time, the landlord shall accept payment of rent for the period in which a federal or state agency or tribal government was experiencing a shutdown from such a tenant for a period not to exceed 30 days after the end of the shutdown.
