Just cause eviction rules in Boulder City, NV β sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances β list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Boulder City does not have just-cause eviction protections. Landlords can terminate month-to-month tenancies with 30 days notice under Nevada NRS 40.251 without stating a reason, absent discrimination or retaliation.
Boulder City has not adopted just-cause eviction protections, and neither has Nevada at the state level. Landlord-tenant relationships in Boulder City are governed by Nevada NRS Chapter 40 (unlawful detainer and summary eviction) and NRS Chapter 118A (landlord-tenant rights and duties). Under NRS 40.251, a landlord may terminate a month-to-month periodic tenancy by giving the tenant 30 days written notice without stating a reason (no cause required). For fixed-term leases, the lease can simply expire and the landlord is not required to renew, though certain notice requirements still apply. The reason for non-renewal cannot be discriminatory under federal Fair Housing Act or Nevada civil rights law, and cannot be retaliatory against a tenant who exercised legal rights such as reporting code violations. For cause-based evictions (non-payment of rent, lease violation, nuisance), shorter notice periods apply, such as a 7-day pay-or-quit notice for non-payment of rent under NRS 40.253. Nevada is often considered a landlord-friendly state with a faster summary eviction process that can move to judgment within a few weeks. Tenant-protection advocates have proposed just-cause legislation in Nevada without success. Senior and disabled tenants receive some additional notice protections under Nevada law.
A no-cause termination that fails to provide 30 days notice violates NRS 40.251 and the tenant can contest the eviction. Retaliatory or discriminatory evictions violate state and federal law and can result in damages and attorney fees. Landlords who self-help evict (change locks, remove belongings) face significant civil penalties.
