Types of Eviction Notices
According to law, the type of Nevada eviction notices a landlord uses depends on the specific cause for the termination.
- 4-Day Notice to Quit: This written notice may be delivered if the tenant pays rent weekly or more frequently and has a tenancy of 45 days or less when behind on rent. The notice must specify the overdue rent amount and the deadline to pay. If the tenant does not pay by the deadline, the landlord may take further legal actions. This notice ensures the tenant is formally informed of the rent arrears and potential consequences.
- 7-Day Notice to Quit: In Nevada, the person acting on behalf of an attorney may serve this notice to a tenant who is behind on their rent with a 7-Day Notice. The tenant has seven days from the date of this notice to either pay rent or quit living in the rental. If the tenant fails to comply with the 7-Day pay rent or quit, the landlord can proceed with eviction. This final notice serves as the last opportunity for day notice to pay the out standing amount before other legal eviction actions are taken.
- 30-Day Notice to Vacate: In Nevada, the person acting on behalf of an attorney may serve a 30-Day Notice to Vacate to a tenant who has no lease agreement or a month-to-month lease agreement. The tenant has 30 day notice to pay from the date of this notice to vacate the rental and end the tenancy. Please note that the notice period depends on the rent payment frequency.
