For nonpayment, NRS 40.253 requires a 7-judicial-day pay-or-quit notice before summary eviction. Nevada uses a unique 'tenant-initiated' process: the tenant must file an affidavit (answer) with the justice court to contest the eviction, and a court order issues if no affidavit is filed in time.
NRS 40.253 lets a landlord serve a notice requiring the tenant to pay rent or surrender the premises 'before the close of business on the seventh judicial day following the day of service.' Nevada's summary-eviction process is distinctive: rather than the landlord filing a lawsuit first, the tenant must file 'an affidavit with the court... stating that the tenant has tendered payment or is not in default in the payment of the rent' to contest the matter; if the tenant files in time, the landlord may not lock out the tenant after receiving a file-stamped copy. If no affidavit is filed, the court may order removal. When an affidavit is filed, the court holds a hearing on its truthfulness and sufficiency, and the sheriff or constable removes the tenant 'not earlier than 24 hours but not later than 36 hours' after the order is posted.
No specific statutory penalty. A landlord who uses self-help or locks out a tenant who has timely filed the affidavit acts unlawfully and may be liable for damages; defective or premature notice can result in dismissal of the eviction.
