A security deposit generally may not exceed three months’ rent (Nev. Rev. Stat. § 118A.242). Offer a move-in and move-out inspection. Unused deposit plus an itemized list is generally due within 30 days.
Except in an emergency, the landlord must give at least 24 hours’ notice before entering (Nev. Rev. Stat. § 118A.330).
A Nevada rent increase should be in writing. Many landlords use at least the same notice they would use to end a month-to-month tenancy. A month-to-month tenancy generally takes 30 days’ written notice (Nev. Rev. Stat. § 40.251). The lease may require more. Local rent-control rules can cap the amount even when the notice period is met.
