Reno, NV Rental Property Rules: Rent Control (2026)

Nevada is a rent-control preemption state: state law effectively prevents cities and counties from enacting rent-control ordinances on private rental housing. Reno has no rent-cap ordinance, and no municipal regulation limits how much a landlord may raise rent. Under Nevada Revised Statute 118A (the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act), landlords of month-to-month tenancies must provide at least 45 days written notice before increasing rent (per NRS 118A.300 as amended). Fixed-term leases (e.g., 12-month leases) cannot have rent raised mid-lease unless the lease specifically provides for it. The 2023 Nevada Legislature considered rent-control bills that were not enacted. Statewide just-cause eviction protection does not exist in Nevada; landlords may terminate month-to-month tenancies with proper notice. NRS 118A.240 governs security deposits (max 3 months rent). NRS 118A.200 sets mandatory lease disclosure requirements including landlord identity, inspection rights, and habitability duties.
