N. Las Vegas, Nev., Code of Ordinances § 9.24 (2026) § 9.24.050
Procedure
Operative Text
Any person aggrieved by any unlawful practice prohibited by this chapter may file a misdemeanor complaint with the city attorney within thirty (30) days after the aggrieved person becomes aware of the alleged unlawful practice, and in no event more than sixty (60) days after the alleged unlawful practice occurred. The city attorney shall prosecute said misdemeanor complaint in municipal court in the same manner as any other misdemeanor complaint.
Section 9.24.050 of the North Las Vegas Municipal Code establishes a time-limited complaint process for unlawful housing practices covered by Chapter 9.24. A person who believes they have been harmed by a prohibited practice may bring a misdemeanor complaint to the city attorney, but must do so within 30 days of learning about the alleged violation and no later than 60 days after the violation itself occurred. Once filed, the city attorney handles the complaint through municipal court using the same procedures applied to any other misdemeanor case.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under N. Las Vegas, Nev., Mun. Code § 9.24.050, practices prohibited by Chapter 9.24 can result in a misdemeanor complaint filed with the city attorney and prosecuted in municipal court. Operators who maintain clear records of their rental practices, communications, and compliance efforts are generally better positioned to respond if a complaint is filed. Being aware of the dual deadlines—30 days from when a tenant becomes aware of an alleged violation, and 60 days from when it occurred—can help property managers understand the window during which a complaint may be initiated.

Section 9.24.050 gives people harmed by unlawful practices under Chapter 9.24 the right to file a misdemeanor complaint directly with the North Las Vegas city attorney. Two deadlines apply: the complaint must be filed within 30 days of when you became aware of the alleged violation, and no more than 60 days after the violation itself took place. Tenants who believe their rights under Chapter 9.24 have been violated may wish to document the alleged practice carefully and consult a tenant-rights organization to understand which enforcement path fits their circumstances.
