Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118 § 118.120
Actions for injunction or damages.
Operative Text
Any person may commence an action in any district court in this state to enforce the provisions of NRS 118.100, 207.300, 207.310, 645.321 or 645C.480 not less than 1 year after the date of the occurrence or termination of an alleged violation of any of those provisions. If the court determines that the provisions of any of those sections have been violated by the defendant, and that the plaintiff has been injured thereby, it may enjoin the defendant from continued violation or may take such other affirmative action as may be appropriate, and, in the case of a prevailing plaintiff, may award to the plaintiff actual damages, punitive damages, court costs and a reasonable attorney’s fee.

Nevada Revised Statutes § 118.120 establishes a private right of action in district court for individuals who believe they have been harmed by violations of certain related statutes, including NRS 118.100, 207.300, 207.310, 645.321, or 645C.480. A lawsuit must be filed no sooner than one year after the alleged violation occurred or ended. If a court finds a violation and resulting injury, it has the authority to order the violating party to stop the conduct, take other appropriate corrective action, and award the injured party actual damages, punitive damages, court costs, and reasonable attorney's fees.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 118.120, property owners and managers should be aware that individuals who allege harm from violations of NRS 118.100 and related statutes may bring a civil lawsuit in Nevada district court seeking injunctive relief and monetary damages. A compliant operator generally maintains thorough records of all rental transactions, disclosures, and communications to demonstrate adherence to the referenced statutes. Because a prevailing plaintiff may recover punitive damages and attorney's fees in addition to actual damages, operators typically ensure their practices align with all provisions cross-referenced in § 118.120.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 118.120 gives individuals who have been injured by violations of NRS 118.100 and related statutes the right to file a civil lawsuit in any Nevada district court, but not before one year has passed since the violation occurred or ended. If successful, a court may order the defendant to stop the violating conduct and may award actual damages, punitive damages, court costs, and a reasonable attorney's fee to the prevailing plaintiff. Tenants who believe they have experienced a violation covered by § 118.120 may wish to document all relevant events and consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider to understand the options available to them.
