Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118 § 118.205
Requirements for notice.
Operative Text
A notice provided by a landlord to a tenant pursuant to NRS 118.195: 1. Must advise the tenant of the provisions of that section and specify: (a) The address or other location of the property; (b) The date upon which the property will be deemed abandoned and the rental agreement terminated; and (c) An address for payment of the rent due and delivery of notice to the landlord. 2. Must be served pursuant to subsection 1 of NRS 40.280. 3. May be included in the notice required by subsection 1 of NRS 40.253 or subsection 1 of NRS 40.2542, as applicable.
Nevada Revised Statutes § 118.205 sets out the required contents and delivery method for a landlord's abandonment notice to a tenant under NRS 118.195. The notice must include the property's address, the date the property will be considered abandoned and the rental agreement terminated, and an address where the tenant can send rent payment or deliver a response to the landlord. The notice must be served in the manner prescribed by NRS 40.280, and it may be combined with certain eviction notices already required under NRS 40.253 or NRS 40.2542.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 118.205, a compliant abandonment notice includes all three required elements: the property address, the specific date of deemed abandonment and lease termination, and a valid address for rent payment and landlord correspondence. Operators typically ensure the notice is served in strict compliance with NRS 40.280's service requirements, as improper service can undermine the notice's legal effect. Where applicable, landlords commonly incorporate this notice into an existing pay-or-quit or unlawful detainer notice under NRS 40.253 or NRS 40.2542 to consolidate required communications.

Under § 118.205, a landlord's abandonment notice must contain specific information — including the property address, the abandonment date, and an address for paying rent or contacting the landlord — and must be delivered in the manner required by NRS 40.280. If a notice you received is missing any of these required elements or was not properly served, that deficiency may be relevant to your situation. Tenants who believe a notice does not comply with § 118.205 may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider to understand available options.
