Nevada Eviction Notice Type Selector

Nevada law (primarily NRS 40.251, 40.2512, 40.2514, 40.2516, 40.253, and 40.280) requires specific written notices before a landlord may obtain an order for summary eviction. The correct notice depends on the reason for termination.

> Critical: Self-help evictions (changing locks, shutting off utilities, removing belongings) are prohibited. Only a constable or sheriff may physically remove a tenant after a court order. Filing in the proper Justice Court is required after notice expires without compliance., -
