Bill > AB121

This bill revises Nevada landlord-tenant laws to provide additional protections for renters. It requires landlords to offer at least one rent payment method that doesn't charge fees or require bank account information, and prohibits charging tenants more than the actual online portal processing fee. The bill mandates that rental agreements must list the total rent as a single figure that includes all mandatory fees, preventing landlords from adding unexpected charges. Landlords must now provide prospective tenants with a copy of the rental agreement upon request and refund application fees if they rent to another tenant or don't process the application. The legislation also bars landlords from collecting application, credit report, or background check fees for minors in the household. Tenants who are overcharged or experience violations can now bring civil actions against landlords, potentially receiving damages, equitable relief, and statutory damages of $250 for each deceptive violation. The bill aims to increase transparency, reduce unexpected costs, and provide more financial protections for renters by creating clearer guidelines for rental agreements and payment processes.
