Nevada Month-to-month Rental Agreement Template

A rental agreement with no fixed end date. It renews each month until the landlord or tenant gives proper written notice. This edition fills in the Nevada rules we could confirm and marks the rest as blanks to check.

Nevada rules for this form

Month-to-month notice. A month to month tenancy ends on at least 30 days of written notice, and a week to week tenancy on 7 days. (NRS 40.251)

Notice before a rent increase. A landlord must give at least 60 days of written notice before the first rent payment that is increased. (NRS 118A.300)

Notice before a rent increase. For a periodic tenancy shorter than one month, the notice period is 30 days. (NRS 118A.300)

Deposit limit. The total of any security deposit and surety bond, including last month's rent, may not exceed three months' rent. (NRS 118A.242)

Deadline to return the deposit. Within 30 days after the tenancy ends, the landlord must return the remaining deposit with an itemized written accounting. (NRS 118A.242)

Notice before entry. Except in an emergency, the landlord gives at least 24 hours of notice and enters only at reasonable times during normal business hours unless the tenant agrees otherwise. (NRS 118A.330)

Late fees. A late fee must be reasonable, stated in the rental agreement and no more than 5 percent of the periodic rent, and the cap cannot grow based on an earlier late fee. (NRS 118A.210)

Required disclosures. Homes built before 1978 need the federal lead-based paint disclosure and the EPA pamphlet. (Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act (42 U.S.C. 4852d))

Before you use it

• A month-to-month agreement renews automatically each rental period until someone gives written notice.
• Notice periods to end the tenancy or change the rent are set by state law, and some cities require longer notice or a valid reason.
• The flexibility cuts both ways: the tenant can leave on short notice, so turnover can come sooner.
• Everything else, from deposit limits to entry notice, follows the same rules as a fixed-term lease.
