Notice before a rent increase. For a periodic tenancy shorter than one month, the notice period is 30 days. (NRS 118A.300)
Fixed-term leases
During a fixed-term lease, rent usually stays as written until the term ends unless the lease itself allows an increase. Plan increases for the renewal.
Caps that limit the increase
Rent control status. Nevada has no statewide rent control or cap on the size of rent increases. (Nevada Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (NRS 118A))
Timing and retaliation
Retaliation protection. A landlord may not end or refuse to renew a tenancy, raise rent, cut services or threaten eviction because a tenant complained in good faith, joined a tenant group or used a legal remedy. (NRS 118A.510)
Mistakes to avoid
- Raising rent during a fixed term without a clause that allows it.
- Sending the notice by text or email when the lease or the law calls for written delivery another way.
- Increasing rent right after a repair request or complaint.
- Not keeping proof of when the notice was delivered.
