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.
