Housing Authorities Law

Nevada · Housing Authorities · §§ 315.007 to 315.99874 · 157 sections

Overview

This act authorizes local and regional public bodies to create housing authorities and sets out how they come into being and operate — the resolution of necessity and supporting factual findings required to activate one, including determinations about unsafe or insanitary conditions and the housing needs of persons of low income, together with the appointment, terms, officers, compensation, and conflict-of-interest duties of its commissioners and its treatment of bonds and real property, which is exempted from execution, judgment liens, and similar process. It also governs the landlord–tenant side of public housing, specifying the conditions under which a tenant may be required to vacate and a termination procedure built on written notice with prescribed contents and service, competing affidavits from the tenant and the housing authority or landlord, and a determination by a local judicial officer. A tenant may obtain judicial review and appeal, may retain the premises pending review on stated conditions, and may be returned to public housing, and an action for damages remains available alongside these remedies.
