Which disclosures must a Nevada lease include?
Nevada landlord-tenant law is governed by the Nevada Residential Landlord-Tenant Code (NRS Chapter 118A). The core disclosures a Nevada landlord must give at or around lease signing:
| Disclosure | Authority | Applies To |
|---|---|---|
| Owner/manager and emergency contact | NRS 118A.260 | Every lease |
| Signed lease and inventory/condition record | NRS 118A.200 | Every lease |
| Foreclosure disclosure | NRS 118A.200 | Property in foreclosure |
| Nuisance-rule provision | NRS 118A.200 (ref. NRS 202.470) | Every lease |
| Lead-based paint hazard + EPA pamphlet | Title X (federal) | Housing built before 1978 |
The main Nevada lease disclosures
Owner/manager and emergency contact (NRS 118A.260): the landlord must disclose the names and addresses of the manager(s), an in-state agent for service, the owner, and an emergency contact within the county or 60 miles
Signed lease and inventory/condition record (NRS 118A.200): the tenant must get a free signed copy of the lease and a signed record of the inventory and condition of the premises
Additional Nevada disclosures
Foreclosure disclosure (NRS 118A.200): the landlord must disclose in writing if the property is subject to foreclosure; a willful violation is a deceptive trade practice
Nuisance-rule provision (NRS 118A.200 (ref. NRS 202.470)): the lease must summarize the state nuisance rule
Federal lead-based paint disclosure
Federal law overlays Nevada's own rules here. Any pre-1978 rental triggers Title X (42 U.S.C. § 4852d): the landlord must supply a signed lead-warning statement, disclose known lead hazards, share available inspection records, and give the tenant the EPA booklet Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home. Skipping it exposes the landlord to civil and, in serious cases, criminal liability.
What happens if a Nevada landlord skips a required disclosure?
Consequences depend on the disclosure:
- Failing to disclose a foreclosure is a deceptive trade practice (NRS 118A.200).
- An over-cap deposit (three months) or a late fee over 5% is separately recoverable/unenforceable (NRS 118A.242, 118A.210).
- A federal lead-paint violation carries civil and, in egregious cases, criminal penalties plus tenant damages.
