Renting out residential property in the Las Vegas Valley can be a highly lucrative venture, but Nevada law is highly precise regarding tenant rights and transparency. Before a tenant ever turns a key in Sin City, landlords must provide a series of legally mandated disclosures. Failing to include these in your lease agreement isn't just an oversight—it can result in costly penalties, lawsuits, or a voided contract.
Whether you manage a high-rise condo on the Strip or a suburban home in Summerlin, ensure your lease packets include these essential state and federal disclosures.
Statutory State Disclosures (NRS Chapter 118A)
Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 118A outlines the primary rules governing landlord-tenant relationships. Under this statute, several specific disclosures must be explicitly detailed within or alongside the written lease agreement:
Landlord and Agent Identity
Landlords must provide the name and address of the property manager and the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner for legal notices and service of process. Crucially, the disclosure must also include an emergency telephone number for a responsible party living in the county (or within 60 miles of the property).
Pending Foreclosure Proceedings
Under NRS § 118A.275, if the rental property is currently the subject of any foreclosure proceedings, the landlord must disclose this to prospective tenants in writing before they sign. Concealing a pending foreclosure is legally classified as a deceptive trade practice in Nevada.
Non-Refundable Fees and Deposits
Every fee, deposit, or surcharge must be clearly itemized. The lease must explicitly state the purpose of each fee and define the exact conditions under which a deposit will be refunded or retained.
