⚠ Nevada requires a 7-day notice for a notice to pay rent or quit; the count runs from the date of SERVICE, and some states exclude weekends/holidays — verify before relying on a date. 7 JUDICIAL days for a residential monthly (or shorter-period) tenancy under NRS 40.2512 / NRS 40.253(1)(a), as amended by AB226 (2019). CRITICAL: judicial days exclude the date of service, weekends, and legal holidays — so 7 judicial days is often 9-11 calendar days. The tenant must pay or surrender before the close of business on the 7th judicial day after service. The older nvcourts '5-day pay-or-quit' form is OBSOLETE; the current statutory residential period is 7 judicial days. Exception: a weekly tenancy uses a 4-day notice (NRS 40.253(1)(b), by noon of the 4th full day). Commercial premises use 5 days, not applicable to residential.
Notice to Pay Rent or Quit (Nevada)
NOTICE TO PAY RENT OR QUIT
Date of Notice: ________________
From (Landlord/Agent): [LANDLORD/AGENT NAME], [LANDLORD ADDRESS]
To: [TENANT NAME(S)], Tenant(s) in possession of: [PROPERTY ADDRESS]
YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that rent is now due and unpaid in the amount of $________. This amount is for unpaid RENT only and excludes late fees, utilities, and other charges unless your state and lease allow them.
You are required to PAY the full amount of rent due within 7 days after this notice is served on you, OR to vacate and surrender possession of the property.

If you do not comply with this notice within the time stated, the landlord may begin legal proceedings to recover possession of the property under NRS Chapter 40 (summary eviction: NRS 40.251, 40.2512, 40.2514, 40.2516, 40.253, 40.254, 40.280) and NRS Chapter 118A (Landlord and Tenant: Dwellings).
Only a court can order you to move out. The landlord may NOT lock you out, remove your belongings, or shut off your utilities; doing so is illegal.
This notice is given without waiving, and the landlord expressly reserves, all other rights and remedies, including the right to recover unpaid rent and damages.

Nevada Eviction Notice Requirements
In Nevada, a landlord must serve a written notice before filing for eviction under NRS Chapter 40 (summary eviction: NRS 40.251, 40.2512, 40.2514, 40.2516, 40.253, 40.254, 40.280) and NRS Chapter 118A (Landlord and Tenant: Dwellings). The required notice period depends on the reason:
- Nonpayment of rent: 7-day notice to pay or quit. 7 JUDICIAL days for a residential monthly (or shorter-period) tenancy under NRS 40.2512 / NRS 40.253(1)(a), as amended by AB226 (2019). CRITICAL: judicial days exclude the date of service, weekends, and legal holidays — so 7 judicial days is often 9-11 calendar days. The tenant must pay or surrender before the close of business on the 7th judicial day after service. The older nvcourts '5-day pay-or-quit' form is OBSOLETE; the current statutory residential period is 7 judicial days. Exception: a weekly tenancy uses a 4-day notice (NRS 40.253(1)(b), by noon of the 4th full day). Commercial premises use 5 days, not applicable to residential.
- Curable lease violation: 5-day notice to cure or quit. 5 JUDICIAL days to cure the lease/rental-agreement violation or quit under NRS 40.2516 (Five-Day Notice to Perform Lease Condition or Quit). If the tenant neither cures nor vacates, the landlord then serves a separate 5-judicial-day Notice of Unlawful Detainer (NRS 40.254) before applying for an eviction order. Judicial days exclude date of service, weekends, and holidays.
- No-cause termination (month-to-month): 30-day notice. 30 days for a monthly periodic tenancy (NRS 40.251(1)(b)(1)); 7 days if rent is paid weekly. Nevada allows no-cause (no reason) termination of a periodic/at-will tenancy. A tenant who is 60+ years old OR has a physical/mental disability may request, in writing with documentation, an ADDITIONAL 30 days (60 total). After the no-cause period expires the landlord serves a 5-judicial-day Notice of Unlawful Detainer before eviction.
Service: Under NRS 40.280, eviction notices must be served by a sheriff, constable, licensed process server, or an agent of a Nevada-licensed attorney — the landlord may NOT serve the notice personally. Service is by: (1) personal delivery to the tenant; or (2) if the tenant is absent, leaving a copy with a person of suitable age and discretion at the residence/place of business AND mailing a copy; or (3) if no such person can be found, posting a copy in a conspicuous place on the property, delivering to a resident of suitable age if present, AND mailing a copy. Proof of service is required.
- Nonpayment of rent: 7 JUDICIAL days to pay or quit for residential monthly tenancies (NRS 40.2512 / 40.253(1)(a), amended by AB226 in 2019) — judicial days exclude weekends/holidays and the day of service, so it usually spans 9-11 calendar days. The old 5-day form is outdated. Weekly tenancies: 4-day notice (NRS 40.253(1)(b)).
- Lease-violation cure-or-quit: 5 judicial days (NRS 40.2516); nuisance/illegal-business/drug/unauthorized-sublet violations: 3-day no-cure notice (NRS 40.2514). Each is followed by a separate 5-judicial-day Notice of Unlawful Detainer (NRS 40.254) before the court issues an eviction order.
- No-cause termination of a month-to-month tenancy: 30 calendar days (NRS 40.251(1)(b)(1)); 7 days if rent is paid weekly. Tenants 60+ or disabled may request an extra 30 days (60 total).
- Nevada uses an expedited 'summary eviction' (NRS 40.253/40.254) for residential cases where possession is the only issue; the tenant must file an answer/affidavit to contest.
- Notices must be served by a sheriff, constable, licensed process server, or attorney's agent (NRS 40.280) — never by the landlord directly. No statewide just-cause requirement; no-cause termination is allowed.
