The notices and their periods
- 7-Day Notice to Pay or Quit — for nonpayment (NRS 40.253) — seven judicial days (excluding weekends and holidays) to pay or move out. “Rent” can include late fees but not court costs or attorney fees.
- 5-Day Notice to Perform or Quit — for a curable lease violation (NRS 40.2516) — five judicial days to fix the problem or vacate.
- 3-Day Notice to Quit (nuisance) — for nuisance, waste, unlawful business, or a drug violation (NRS 40.2514), followed by a 5-day unlawful-detainer notice.
Ending a tenancy and serving notice
To end a month-to-month tenancy without cause, give a 30-day No-Cause Notice (NRS 40.251) — or 60 days if the tenant has rented for more than a year.
Most Nevada evictions use the summary eviction process: after the notice expires, the tenant must file a Tenant's Affidavit with the justice court to contest. If the tenant doesn't, the landlord can obtain a lockout order without a hearing.
The tenant files first
Nevada's summary eviction flips the usual order — once the notice period passes, the tenant must file an affidavit to get a hearing, and if they don't, the court can issue a lockout order with no hearing at all. Notice periods are counted in judicial days (excluding weekends and holidays), which stretches them on the calendar.

Eviction rules are strict and vary by state, county, and city — many cities add rent-control or just-cause requirements on top of state law, and an improper or mistimed notice can get an eviction case delayed or dismissed. Verify the current requirements for your property's location and, for contested or high-stakes evictions, consult a landlord-tenant attorney. Statute references verified June 2026.
