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).

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)).
