Just cause eviction rules in Las Vegas, NV — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Nevada does not have a statewide just-cause eviction law, and Las Vegas has not enacted one locally. Landlords may terminate month-to-month tenancies with 30 days' notice (NRS 40.251) without stating a cause. For-cause evictions (non-payment, lease violations) follow NRS 40.2512 through 40.254 with specific notice periods ranging from 3 to 30 days depending on the violation.
Las Vegas follows state eviction procedures. Landlords must provide proper written notice before filing eviction actions. For month-to-month tenancies, typically 30 to 60 days notice is required for no-cause termination. Fixed-term leases end on their termination date. Eviction for cause (non-payment, lease violation) follows faster timelines. Retaliatory and discriminatory evictions are prohibited under state and federal law. Self-help evictions such as changing locks or shutting off utilities are illegal.
Illegal self-help eviction: tenant damages and penalties. Retaliatory eviction: prohibited, tenant may counterclaim. Improper notice: eviction case dismissed.
