Nevada Standard Residential Lease Agreement Template

Maximum Amount: The security deposit and last month’s rent (if collected) may not exceed a total of 3 months’ rent (§ 118A.242(1)).

• Receipt Required? Yes. Upon the tenant’s request, the landlord must deliver a signed written receipt for the security deposit, surety bond, rent, or any other payments or fees received (§ 118A.250). A tenant may legally withhold rent payments until the requested receipt is provided (§ 118A.250).

Return Period: Within 30 days after tenancy termination and delivery of possession (§ 535.300.3).

• Itemized List Required? Yes. If withholding funds for unpaid rent, cleaning, or actual property damage beyond normal wear, the landlord must provide an itemized written accounting within the 30-day window (§ 118A.242(4)). Failing to return the deposit or provide the itemized list within 30 days makes the landlord liable for damages equal to the entire deposit plus court-awarded statutory damages up to the amount of the deposit (§ 118A.242(6)).

Disclosure of Foreclosure Proceedings (if applicable): Prior to lease execution, a landlord must disclose in writing if the property is currently subject to any foreclosure proceedings (§ 118A.275(1)).

Inventory and Condition Record (Move-In / Move Out Checklist): Written rental agreements in Nevada must include a signed record of the inventory and condition of the premises under the exclusive custody and control of the tenant (§ 118A.200(3)(k)).

Lead-Based Paint Disclosure: For residential structures constructed before January 1, 1978, landlords must distribute the federal EPA Lead Hazard Pamphlet and disclose any known lead-based paint hazards before lease execution (40 CFR § 745.113).

Mandatory Lease Terms and Nuisance Reporting Notice (included in the lease): All written leases must contain specified terms, including deposit refund conditions, fee purposes, utility payment allocations, inspection rights, and procedures for reporting nuisances or building code violations (§ 118A.200(3)). These terms are included in the Nevada Standard Residential Lease Agreement Template.

Owner and Manager Identity: At or before the start of tenancy, the landlord must disclose in writing the full name and address of the property manager, the owner/agent authorized to receive service of process and official notices, and an emergency telephone number for a responsible person residing in the county or within 60 miles of the property (§ 118A.260(1)).
