Download a free Nevada lease agreement template

A Nevada residential lease agreement records the deal between a landlord and tenant for a home in Nevada. It identifies the parties and premises, sets the rent and term, allocates utilities and maintenance responsibilities, and provides a written place for property rules. The free PDF and Word versions on this page are labeled for Nevada and are intended as a practical starting document—not a substitute for checking which statutes, disclosures, or local rules apply to a particular property.

The principal research authority for this page is Nevada Revised Statutes chapter 118A, Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. Research scope: NRS chapter 118A scope, mandatory and prohibited agreement terms, periodic-rent and payment-method disclosures, deposits, landlord duties, access, identity disclosures, protected termination, and incorporated state and local housing codes. Because residential rules can depend on property type, tenancy length, location, and regulated-housing status, review the completed agreement and any required addenda before signing.

Nevada lease topics to review

The current research draft for Nevada identifies the following topics as relevant to residential lease preparation. Use them as a checklist, and verify each rule's scope, current text, and exceptions before adding a term to the lease.

• Nevada chapter 118A applies to covered dwelling tenancies but expressly excludes several property, program, and occupancy categories.
• Nevada written leases require specified terms and, under current law, a single maximum periodic-rent figure inclusive of mandatory fees, subject to narrow utility exceptions.
• Nevada caps combined security, surety, and last-month rent at three months' periodic rent and requires a thirty-day itemized disposition.
• Nevada imposes detailed habitability duties, narrowly limits repair allocations, and restricts charges for work that is the landlord's obligation.
• Nevada requires written manager, service-agent, owner, and nearby emergency-contact information.
• Nevada provides a documented protected-termination path tied to a recent qualifying event and the earlier of period end or thirty days after notice.
• Nevada requires signed written leases, a free executed copy, and a prominent first-page warning for specified small-residence agreements not signed by a permitted property manager.
• Nevada leases require city and county code checks and separate chapter 118B, public-housing, and subsidy-program gates.

The final lease should not waive protections that cannot lawfully be waived. If a selected term conflicts with a controlling statute, official form, court order, housing-program rule, or local ordinance, the controlling rule applies even when the parties signed different language.

What to include in a Nevada residential lease

• Landlord, tenant, and premises details — use the parties' full legal names, the complete Nevada property address, and a clear description of included parking, storage, furnishings, or shared spaces.
• Term and rent — state whether the tenancy is fixed-term or periodic, when it begins, when rent is due, accepted payment methods, and what happens at the end of the stated term.
• Deposits and charges — identify each deposit, prepaid amount, fee, and late-payment term separately so it can be compared with the current Nevada rule that applies to the property.
• Utilities, maintenance, and access — allocate day-to-day responsibilities without attempting to transfer a nonwaivable landlord or tenant duty.
• Rules and addenda — document pets, smoking, parking, guests, insurance, association rules, and any federal, state, local, or property-specific disclosure that applies.
• Notices and signatures — provide reliable notice addresses and retain a complete signed copy for every party.

State and local checks before signing

Nevada leases require city and county code checks and separate chapter 118B, public-housing, and subsidy-program gates. Confirm the property address and the current local text before signing.

Federal requirements can also apply. For example, most pre-1978 housing requires the federal lead-based-paint disclosure process. Manufactured housing, short-term occupancy, owner-occupied rooms, subsidized housing, and rent-regulated property may follow a different legal path from an ordinary residential lease.
