Any employee or agent of a licensee who acts as the on-site manager of an apartment complex with 40 or more apartment units must have completed a landlord training program. d. The following persons must complete a landlord training program within 180 days after the effective date of this section in order to continue to function in their respective capacities: (1) A person who is licensed to manage one or more apartment complexes with 40 or more apartment units on the effective date of this ordinance and who has not complied with the requirements of this section.

(3) An employee or agent of a licensee who acts as the on-site manager of an apartment complex with 40 or more apartment units on the effective date of this ordinance and who has not complied with the requirements of this section. (b) Training requirements for business entities. For purposes of this section, a partnership, corporation or other business entity satisfies the training requirements of this section if one or more of its principals has fulfilled those requirements. (c) Change in management of apartment house. A person licensed to conduct or operate an apartment house with 40 or more apartment units shall notify the Reno Police Department, Community Services Division, of a change in the management of the apartment house within ten days after the change takes place. A new manager who has not completed the landlord training program shall have 45 days to complete the program. (d) Enforcement. 1. Neither the payment of a license fee, nor the renewal or pending renewal of a license under this chapter, shall in any way limit the enforcement of this section. 2. Failure to meet the requirements of this section will subject the licensee to administrative citations for failure to comply with the requirements of the Reno Municipal Code, as set forth in RMC 1.05.200 through RMC 1.05.220 . Each and every day a violation of these requirements exists constitutes a separate and distinct violation. Issuance of citations and/or payment of administrative fines shall not preclude other appropriate enforcement action as set forth in the Code.
Reno, Nev., Admin. Code § 1.06.010 establishes a mandatory training requirement for landlords and on-site managers who oversee apartment complexes of 40 or more units within the city of Reno. The required training is delivered through the Reno Police Department's Crime Free Multi-Housing Program, and business entities such as corporations or partnerships satisfy the requirement when at least one principal completes it. When management of a qualifying complex changes hands, the outgoing licensee must notify the Reno Police Department's Community Services Division within ten days, and any incoming manager who has not yet completed the training has 45 days to do so.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators covered by § 1.06.010 — those licensed to manage one or more apartment complexes with 40 or more units — generally ensure that both themselves and any on-site managers they employ have completed the Reno Police Department's landlord training program before or within the applicable deadline. When a management change occurs at a qualifying property, compliant operators typically notify the Reno Police Department, Community Services Division, within ten days of the change and track the 45-day window for the new manager to complete the program. Because § 1.06.010 specifies that each day a violation continues constitutes a separate offense subject to administrative citations under RMC 1.05.200–1.05.220, maintaining current training records for all relevant personnel is a routine part of license compliance.

Reno, Nev., Admin. Code § 1.06.010 reflects the city's interest in ensuring that managers of larger apartment complexes — those with 40 or more units — receive standardized training through the Reno Police Department's Crime Free Multi-Housing Program. Tenants who believe their landlord or on-site manager may not be meeting these training requirements can contact the Reno Police Department's Community Services Division, which is the body designated to receive management-change notifications under this section. Tenant-rights organizations in the Reno area can also help residents understand how licensing and training requirements under § 1.06.010 may be relevant to their housing situation.
