Bill > AB201

This bill revises Nevada law regarding the sealing of eviction and lockout court records, expanding the circumstances under which such records can be automatically sealed to protect tenants. Specifically, the bill allows eviction case court files to be automatically sealed upon the tenant's motion if the landlord does not respond within 7 judicial days, if an appeal results in dismissal or denial of the eviction, or if certain other conditions are met. The bill also introduces a rebuttable presumption that sealing an eviction record is in the interests of justice if the motion to seal is filed more than one year after the eviction order. Additionally, the bill mandates automatic sealing of court files related to unjustified lockouts, either after the appeal period expires or upon final resolution of an appeal that affirms an unjustified lockout finding. These provisions aim to reduce the long-term negative consequences of eviction records by making it easier for tenants to have their court files sealed, which can help protect their future housing and employment prospects. The bill will apply to actions filed before, on, or after July 1, 2025, and will become effective on that date.
