NRS 118A.290 requires Nevada landlords to keep rentals habitable — sound structure, weatherproofing, working plumbing, heating, electrical, and a safe water supply. NRS 118A.360 lets tenants repair-and-deduct after written notice, and NRS 118A.380 lets tenants act when essential services such as heat, water, or electricity fail.
NRS 118A.290 obligates the landlord to maintain the dwelling in 'a habitable condition,' including effective weatherproofing, working plumbing and a water supply approved under applicable law, adequate heating, electrical lighting and wiring, clean and safe common areas, appropriate trash receptacles, and floors, walls, and structural components kept in good repair. If a landlord fails to maintain habitability, NRS 118A.360 permits a tenant — after giving written notice and allowing 14 days — to repair the condition and deduct the cost, or to terminate. When the landlord deliberately or negligently fails to supply an essential service such as heat, running water, hot water, electricity, gas, or a working lock, NRS 118A.380 lets the tenant procure the service and deduct the cost, recover damages, or obtain comparable housing.
No specific statutory penalty. Tenants may repair-and-deduct, withhold or recover damages, procure substitute essential services, or terminate the tenancy; courts may award actual damages and, for essential-service failures, additional remedies under NRS 118A.380.
