For Property Managers

Compliant operators familiarize themselves with the Nevada Equal Rights Commission's role and authority as it applies to housing-related obligations throughout Chapter 118. Misreading which body is referenced can lead to confusion about where complaints are filed or which agency oversees enforcement.
