Rent control rules in Boulder City, NV β also known as rent stabilization or rent cap ordinances β limit annual rent increases and protect tenants from displacement.
Boulder City has no rent control. Nevada law provides no statewide rent cap. Landlords can raise rent per lease with 45 days notice for month-to-month tenancies under NRS 118A.300.
Neither Boulder City nor the State of Nevada has rent control laws as of early 2026. Nevada has no statewide rent cap and does not preempt local rent control in the same express way as many states, but no Nevada local government has adopted rent control and none is in place in Boulder City. Landlords and tenants operate under the Nevada Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (NRS 118A), which governs lease formation, security deposits, habitability, and evictions but does not cap rent amounts or increases. For month-to-month tenancies under NRS 118A.300, a landlord must provide at least 45 days written notice of a rent increase. For fixed-term leases, rent cannot be increased mid-term unless the lease allows it, but rent can be raised at renewal with proper notice. Boulder City does not register rents, cap increases, require just cause for non-renewal, or require rental relocation assistance. In the Las Vegas Valley region (including Clark County and Henderson), rent has risen significantly since 2020, which has prompted discussions in the Nevada Legislature about rent stabilization, but no statewide or local rent control has been enacted. Tenants facing rent increases should review their lease, ensure the landlord provided proper notice, and consult Nevada Legal Services if they believe the increase is retaliatory or discriminatory.
No rent control exists to violate in Boulder City. A landlord who fails to provide required 45-day written notice of rent increase for a month-to-month tenancy violates NRS 118A.300; the tenant may refuse the increase or challenge enforcement. Retaliatory or discriminatory rent increases violate state and federal law.
