**Introduction**: In Nevada, landlords can’t evict tenants without a lawful reason. Knowing the legitimate grounds for eviction helps landlords avoid wrongful eviction claims and ensures cases hold up in court.
**1. Nonpayment of rent**: When a tenant fails to pay rent, the landlord can serve a **5‑day notice** to pay or quit. If the tenant doesn’t pay within five judicial days, the landlord may file an eviction complaint.
**2. Lease violations**: Tenants who violate lease terms—such as unauthorized occupants, pets, or subletting—can be given a **5‑day notice** to comply or quit. If the tenant cures the violation within five days, the eviction cannot proceed.
**3. Nuisance or illegal activity**: Nevada law allows landlords to evict tenants involved in creating a nuisance, damaging property, or conducting illegal activities. Landlords must serve a **3‑day nuisance notice**, citing the disruptive or unlawful conduct. Documentation of police reports or complaints strengthens the case.
**4. No‑cause terminations**: If there is no wrongdoing and the landlord simply wants to end a periodic tenancy, a **7‑day notice** may be used for week‑to‑week tenancies, while a **30‑day notice** is required for month‑to‑month leases. For manufactured home parks or extended leases, longer notices may apply. These notices cannot be used to retaliate or discriminate.
**5. Owner move‑in or sale of property**: When the landlord or a buyer intends to occupy the unit, or if the unit is being removed from the rental market, Nevada law permits eviction with proper notice.
**Conclusion**: Always serve the correct notice and give tenants the legally required time to comply. If they don’t, file the eviction with the court.
