Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118 § 118.030
Definitions.
Operative Text
As used in NRS 118.010 to 118.120, inclusive, unless the context otherwise requires, the words and terms defined in NRS 118.040 to 118.093, inclusive, have the meanings ascribed to them in those sections.
Nevada Revised Statutes § 118.030 establishes that specific words and terms used throughout NRS 118.010 to 118.120 carry the precise meanings defined in NRS 118.040 to 118.093, unless the surrounding context clearly calls for a different interpretation. This is a standard definitional cross-reference provision, meaning the language in those sections controls how key terms are understood across the entire statutory chapter. The provision itself does not create rights or obligations but shapes how all other provisions in the chapter are read and applied.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Nevada's landlord-tenant framework should be aware that § 118.030 directs readers to NRS 118.040 through 118.093 for the authoritative definitions of terms used throughout NRS 118.010 to 118.120. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with those defined terms to ensure their practices, notices, and agreements align with the statutory meanings. Misunderstanding a defined term can affect how other obligations and rights within the chapter are interpreted.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
