Nevada bars rent control, but NRS 118A.200 requires any utility, RUBS, fee, or pass-through charge to be disclosed in the written rental agreement. Surprise mid-tenancy charges are unenforceable in Las Vegas leases.
Las Vegas landlords may pass through utilities, trash, sewer, ratio utility billing system charges, valet trash, pet fees, or HOA-driven assessments to tenants, but only if those charges are clearly disclosed in the written rental agreement under NRS 118A.200. Mid-term changes generally require written agreement from the tenant, since NRS 118A.200(3) bars unilateral rent or fee increases inside a fixed-term lease. Nevada bans local rent control under NRS 118A.245, so cities cannot freeze pass-throughs, but tenants can still challenge undisclosed or retroactive charges. Common Las Vegas rentals use sub-metered RUBS for water and trash.
Adding undisclosed utility, trash, or RUBS charges mid-lease, or hiding fees in addenda not signed by the tenant, makes those charges unenforceable and may expose landlords to NRS 118A statutory damages.
