Rent Increase Notice in Nevada
How many days of advance notice a landlord must give before a rent increase takes effect in Nevada, how a fixed-term lease is treated, and what to check, cited to the statute.
The notice periods in Nevada
How much warning is required before a higher rent can take effect, and how a fixed lease is treated.
| When | Notice in Nevada | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Ordinary tenancy | 60 days | Written notice at least 60 days in advance of the first rental payment to be increased, under NRS 118A.300. |
| Periodic tenancy of less than one month | 30 days | Written notice at least 30 days in advance of the increase. |
| Fixed-term lease | None mid-term | During a fixed-term lease the rent is fixed until renewal. The 60-day notice applies to a periodic tenancy. |
| Local ordinance | Varies | The state figure of 60 days is the operative notice. NRS 40.251 separately lets tenants 60 or older and tenants with disabilities request an extra 30 days on a no-cause termination. |
| If notice is skipped | Not effective | The 60 days run to the first rental payment that is actually increased, not to a notice date, which removes the usual argument about when the clock stops. The figure moved from 45 to 60 days in a recent amendment, so a very large amount of published material still says 45 and is out of date. |
| Statute | Nev. Rev. Stat. §118A.300 | The controlling statute for this notice period. Read the full text through the source link below. |
Nevada raised the notice from 45 to 60 days by amendment. Most guides still print 45, so confirm the current text and effective date and treat the older figure as stale.
Next steps if your rent is going up
Concrete, neutral steps to check a rent increase in Nevada. This is legal information, not legal advice.
- Use 60 days, not 45
Nevada now requires 60 days notice, up from 45. Page after page still prints the old 45-day figure, so hold your landlord to the current 60 days under NRS 118A.300.
- Count to the first increased payment
The 60 days run to the first rental payment that is actually increased, not to a notice date. So count backward from the date the higher rent first applies.
- Check the shorter rule for short tenancies
A periodic tenancy of less than one month gets 30 days rather than 60. Confirm your tenancy length to know which figure applies.
- Get local help
A local Nevada legal aid office can confirm the current figure and whether an increase was properly noticed. Search for legal aid in your area.
This is general legal information, not legal advice. Read your own lease and check for a local ordinance, since either can change the notice that applies to your home.
What Nevada renters get wrong
Nevada gives one of the longest rent increase notices in the country and almost nobody has noticed. The figure moved from forty-five days to sixty, and page after page still prints the old number. Under the current NRS 118A.300 a landlord must give sixty days written notice in advance of the first rental payment to be increased, and thirty days for a periodic tenancy of less than a month. Note also how Nevada counts. The sixty days run to the first rental payment that is actually increased, not to some notice date, which removes the usual argument about when the clock stops. There is no cap on the amount and no stated frequency limit. Tenants sixty or older and tenants with disabilities have a separate protection under NRS 40.251, which lets them request an extra thirty days on a no-cause termination. For a Nevada renter the single most useful fact is that the notice is sixty days, not the forty-five that most guides still repeat, and that it counts to the date the higher rent first applies.
Common questions
Is Nevada 45 days or 60?
Sixty. The current NRS 118A.300 requires 60 days written notice of a rent increase, up from the old 45. Most guides still print 45, which is out of date, so hold your landlord to the current 60 days.
What date do the 60 days count to in Nevada?
To the first rental payment that is actually increased, not a notice date. So you count backward from the date the higher rent first applies, which removes the argument about when the clock stops.
Is there a shorter rule for weekly tenancies in Nevada?
Yes. A periodic tenancy of less than one month gets 30 days notice rather than 60. So a short-term tenancy uses the shorter figure, while an ordinary monthly tenancy gets the full 60 days.
Can my landlord raise the rent twice in a year in Nevada?
Nothing in NRS 118A.300 limits how often, so frequency is governed by your lease rather than the statute. Nevada regulates the notice for each increase, not the number of increases in a year.
