Las Vegas, Nev., Mun. Code § 6.75 (2026) § 6.09.060
Retaliatory action by a landlord (Las Vegas Municipal Code)
Operative Text
As a matter of information only, State law prohibits retaliatory action by a landlord against a tenant under the circumstances described by that law.
Las Vegas Municipal Code §§ 6.09, 6.75 § 6.09.060 serves as an informational reference, noting that Nevada state law independently prohibits landlords from taking retaliatory action against tenants under circumstances defined by that state law. The municipal code does not itself create the anti-retaliation rule but points readers toward the state-level protections that exist. The practical effect is that tenants in Las Vegas are covered by Nevada's anti-retaliation framework, which operates separately from and in addition to local ordinances.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under §§ 6.09, 6.75 § 6.09.060, Las Vegas has flagged that Nevada state law governs retaliatory conduct, meaning property owners and managers are expected to be familiar with the state-level anti-retaliation standards that apply to their operations. Compliant operators generally avoid adverse actions—such as rent increases, eviction notices, or reductions in services—that could be construed as responses to a tenant exercising a legally protected right. Because the municipal code defers to state law on this topic, operators typically consult Nevada's statutes directly to understand the full scope of prohibited retaliatory conduct.

Section §§ 6.09, 6.75 § 6.09.060 of the Las Vegas Municipal Code acknowledges that Nevada state law provides protections against landlord retaliation, meaning tenants may have rights under state statute if a landlord takes adverse action in response to a protected activity, such as reporting a housing code violation or organizing with other tenants. Tenants who believe they have experienced retaliation can explore options such as raising the retaliation as a defense in an eviction proceeding or filing a complaint with a relevant state or local agency. Tenant-rights organizations in Nevada can help explain how the state anti-retaliation law interacts with this municipal provision.
