Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118 § 118.090
“Rent” defined.
Operative Text
“Rent” means rent, lease, sublease, let or otherwise grant for a consideration the right to occupy premises not owned by the occupant.
Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 118, Section 118.090 establishes a broad statutory definition of the word "rent" for purposes of the chapter. Under this definition, the term covers not only traditional rental arrangements but also leases, subleases, and any other agreement by which someone receives consideration in exchange for the right to occupy property they do not own. This definitional provision shapes how other rules within the chapter apply to various types of occupancy arrangements.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 118 should be aware that the term "rent" as defined in Section 118.090 extends beyond simple month-to-month rental agreements. Compliant operators generally apply the chapter's requirements consistently across leases, subleases, and other consideration-based occupancy arrangements, since all of these fall within the statutory definition. Understanding this broad scope helps ensure that obligations under Chapter 118 are not inadvertently overlooked for less conventional occupancy structures.

Under Nev. Rev. Stat. § 118.090, the protections and rules established in Chapter 118 can apply to a wide range of living arrangements, not just standard rental agreements — including subleases and other setups where someone pays for the right to occupy a space they do not own. Tenants in these varied arrangements may find that the rights and remedies available under Chapter 118 extend to their situation. Those with questions about whether their specific type of occupancy falls under this definition may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid resource familiar with Nevada housing law.
