By Type

Pay or Quit – This notice is sent when rent has not been paid as required. It explains how much is owed and what will happen if payment is not made. Ignoring the notice may lead to eviction proceedings.

Cure or Quit – Used for lease violations that can be corrected, such as unauthorized occupants or misuse of the property. The notice gives the tenant time to bring the rental back into compliance. Failure to do so can result in eviction.

Termination of Month-to-Month Tenancy (30-Day Notice) – Ends a month-to-month rental with proper notice. It informs the tenant that the landlord does not intend to continue the tenancy. The tenant is expected to vacate by the stated date.

Notice to Quit for Illegal Activity – Delivered when unlawful behavior is connected to the rental. These notices often require the tenant to leave without a chance to cure the issue.

How to Evict a Tenant in Nevada (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Serve the Eviction Notice

The landlord must deliver the correct written notice and wait the full statutory period before moving forward. Notice may be served personally, by sheriff or constable, or by certified mail.

Common notices include:

  • 7-Day Notice to Quit (Non-Payment of Rent)
  • 5-Day Notice to Quit (Non-Compliance)
  • 30-Day Notice to Quit (Month-to-Month Tenancy)

Step 2: Wait for the Tenant’s Response

After receiving notice, the tenant generally has five to seven days to file a declaration with the court disputing the eviction, depending on the type of notice served.

Step 3: File with the Justice Court and Attend Hearing

If the tenant does not respond—or if the case proceeds to a hearing—the landlord may file the appropriate declaration and Civil Cover Sheet with the local justice court. Required documents typically include the lease, the eviction notice, and proof of service.

Filing fees vary by location, for example:

  • Clark County (Henderson Township): $42[8]
  • Washoe County (Reno): $71[9]
  • Lyon County (Canal Township): $87[10]

Step 4: Obtain a Court Order

If the judge rules in the landlord’s favor, the court will issue an order requiring the tenant to vacate. If the tenant does not leave voluntarily, a constable may be authorized to remove them from the property.
