Summary
Under NRS 118A.300, a Nevada landlord may not raise rent without serving written notice 60 days before the first increased payment, or 30 days in advance for a periodic tenancy of less than one month. Nevada sets no cap on the amount of an increase and bars local rent control.
NRS 118A.300 Advance notice of increase of rent. The landlord may not increase the rent payable by a tenant unless the landlord serves the tenant with a written notice, 60 days or, in the case of any periodic tenancy of less than 1 month, 30 days in advance of the first rental payment to be increased, advising the tenant of the increase.
Full Breakdown
NRS 118A.300 provides that the landlord 'may not increase the rent payable by a tenant unless the landlord serves the tenant with a written notice, 60 days or, in the case of any periodic tenancy of less than 1 month, 30 days in advance of the first rental payment to be increased.' The notice must be in writing and timed to the first payment that reflects the new rent. Nevada law imposes no ceiling on how much rent may be raised and preempts municipal rent control, so the only constraint is proper notice. A fixed-term lease cannot be increased mid-term unless the lease itself allows it.
Violations & Penalties
No specific statutory penalty. A rent increase served with inadequate notice is unenforceable; the prior rent remains the amount legally owed until valid 60-day (or 30-day) notice has expired.
