Full Breakdown

Under NRS 40.251, a Henderson landlord may terminate a month-to-month tenancy without alleging cause by giving 30 days written notice (60 days if the tenant is age 60-plus or has a disability). Henderson has not enacted a city-level just-cause overlay, and NRS 118A.245 separately preempts rent control. Tenants who refuse to vacate after a properly served no-cause notice can be evicted through the summary process in Justice Court. The notice must be served personally, by mail with a posted copy, or by another statutorily permitted method. Discriminatory or retaliatory motives remain unlawful even where no cause is stated.

Violations & Fines

Serving an inadequate or improperly delivered notice voids the eviction and exposes the landlord to dismissal, attorney fees, and potential retaliation claims under NRS 118A.510.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my Henderson landlord evict me without giving a reason?
Yes for month-to-month tenancies, with 30 days written notice (60 if you are 60-plus or disabled) under NRS 40.251.
Is retaliation still illegal?
Yes. NRS 118A.510 forbids retaliatory eviction even where the landlord cites no specific cause.
