Bill > AB340A

This bill revises Nevada's laws governing summary evictions, creating new procedures for landlords to remove tenants who have defaulted on rent or who are considered unlawful detainers. The bill establishes two primary new summary eviction processes: one for tenants who have not paid rent and another for tenants who are considered unlawful detainers for reasons other than non-payment. The key changes include requiring landlords to serve a written notice to tenants, file an affidavit of complaint with the court, and serve the tenant with a copy of the affidavit and summons within specific time frames. Tenants are given 7 calendar days to file a written answer, and if they do not, the court may issue a summary order for removal without a hearing. The bill also provides tenants with mechanisms to dispute potential costs or challenge the reasonableness of a landlord's actions, including the ability to file motions to retrieve personal effects or challenge storage costs. The new procedures apply to residential tenants and exclude commercial tenants, mobile home lot tenants, and certain workers during government shutdowns. The bill repeals existing summary eviction statutes and makes conforming changes to various related Nevada Revised Statutes, with the new provisions taking effect for summary eviction actions filed on or after October 1, 2023.
