Nevada (NV) lease form
Nevada residential leases are governed by NRS Chapter 118A, which sets strict rules on what a written rental agreement must include, what it may not include, and what disclosures landlords must deliver at signing. Violations of prohibited-clause rules make those provisions void as contrary to public policy, and tenants may recover actual damages caused by their inclusion. Landlords who use a noncomplying agreement form are subject to civil liability under NRS 118A.200.
Revun generates a Nevada-ready lease with the required disclosures and clauses built in, then handles e-signature, rent, and renewals on the same platform.
Required on all pre-1978 residential properties under 42 U.S.C. 4852d. Landlord must provide the EPA pamphlet 'Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home' and disclose any known lead hazards before the tenant signs.
Landlord must disclose in writing the name and address of the property manager and the owner (or authorized agent for service of process) before or at the time of signing. An emergency telephone number must also be provided.
If the rental property is subject to a pending foreclosure proceeding at the time of leasing, the landlord must disclose that fact in writing to the prospective tenant before the agreement is executed.
A signed written record of the inventory and condition of the dwelling unit must be attached to or incorporated into the rental agreement, documenting the state of the unit at the commencement of tenancy.
The agreement must set forth the amount of periodic rent, all fees charged by the landlord, and the manner and time of payment in a clear and conspicuous format.
General information, not legal advice. Governing statute: NRS Chapter 118A - Landlord and Tenant: Dwellings. Confirm current requirements or consult an attorney before finalizing a lease.
Nevada lease FAQ
Nevada landlords must disclose the owner and manager's name and address (NRS 118A.260), any pending foreclosure on the property (NRS 118A.275), a signed move-in inventory and condition record (NRS 118A.200), and all rent and fee amounts. On pre-1978 properties, federal law also requires a lead-based paint disclosure and the EPA pamphlet before signing.
Under NRS 118A.220, Nevada landlords may not include clauses that waive tenant rights under NRS Chapter 118A, authorize a confession of judgment, require the tenant to pay the landlord's attorney fees regardless of who prevails, or exculpate the landlord from liability for the landlord's own acts. Any such clause is void as contrary to public policy and can expose the landlord to a damages claim.
Nevada does not require a written lease for month-to-month tenancies, but if a written agreement is used, NRS 118A.200 mandates that it be signed by both parties, that the tenant receive a free copy at signing, and that it contain all required provisions including a move-in condition record and full disclosure of rent and fees.
No. Any lease clause that limits or waives the landlord's duty to maintain a habitable dwelling under NRS 118A.290, or that exculpates the landlord from liability for their own negligence, is void and unenforceable under NRS 118A.220 and NRS 118A.230.
