Nev. Admin. Code ch. 118B § 118B.510
“Common areas” interpreted. (NRS 118B.024, 118B.090)
Operative Text
1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, as used in NRS 118B.090, the Division will interpret the term “common areas” to include, without limitation, any aboveground or underground electrical, plumbing and sanitary service apparatus located on each manufactured home lot, up to the disconnection point, which is not an appurtenance of the manufactured home. 2. The term will be interpreted not to include any such apparatus that has been damaged by the tenant of the manufactured home lot.
Under Nev. Admin. Code ch. 118B § 118B.510, the Division interprets the term 'common areas' — as used in NRS 118B.090 — to encompass the electrical, plumbing, and sanitary service infrastructure on each manufactured home lot, running up to the disconnection point, so long as that infrastructure is not part of the manufactured home itself. This definition applies whether the apparatus runs above or below ground. However, if a tenant has caused damage to that same apparatus, it falls outside the 'common areas' definition and the associated landlord obligations tied to that term do not apply to the damaged portion.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Nev. Admin. Code ch. 118B § 118B.510, operators of manufactured home parks are generally expected to maintain the electrical, plumbing, and sanitary service apparatus on each lot up to the disconnection point as part of their common-area responsibilities. Compliant park operators typically document the condition of these systems at move-in and conduct periodic inspections to distinguish pre-existing infrastructure issues from tenant-caused damage. Keeping clear records of the condition of lot-level service apparatus helps establish whether a given repair obligation falls within the park's common-area duties or has been shifted by tenant-caused damage under subsection 2.

Nev. Admin. Code ch. 118B § 118B.510 establishes that the service infrastructure on your manufactured home lot — including electrical, plumbing, and sanitary apparatus up to the disconnection point — is generally treated as a common area that the park is responsible for under NRS 118B.090, unless the tenant caused the damage. Tenants who believe a park is failing to maintain this infrastructure may have grounds to raise that failure as a violation of the park's common-area obligations. General enforcement paths can include filing a complaint with the Nevada Division of Manufactured Housing or consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with manufactured home park regulations.
