Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.060
“Cause” defined.
Operative Text
A tenancy is terminated with “cause” for: 1. Nonpayment of rent. 2. Nonpayment of utility charges if the landlord customarily pays such charges and submits a separate bill to the tenant. 3. Failure of the tenant to comply with: (a) Basic obligations imposed on the tenant by this chapter; (b) Valid rules or regulations established pursuant to this chapter; or (c) Valid provisions of the rental agreement. 4. Condemnation of the dwelling unit.
Under Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.060, Nevada law defines the specific circumstances that constitute "cause" for ending a tenancy. These include a tenant's failure to pay rent or separately billed utility charges, a tenant's failure to meet obligations set by statute, valid rules, or the rental agreement, and the government condemnation of the dwelling unit. Outside of these defined grounds, a termination generally would not qualify as one made "with cause" under this provision.

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.060 outlines the recognized bases on which a landlord may terminate a tenancy for cause in Nevada. Operators who maintain clear, written rental agreements and adopt rules or regulations consistent with Chapter 118A are generally better positioned to document a cause-based termination when a tenant fails to meet those obligations. Landlords who separately bill tenants for utilities they customarily pay should ensure that billing practice is clearly established in the rental agreement to support a cause claim under this section.

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.060 sets out a limited list of grounds that legally qualify as "cause" for terminating a tenancy in Nevada, including nonpayment of rent, nonpayment of separately billed utilities, failure to comply with valid lease terms or statutory obligations, and condemnation. If a landlord claims cause for termination, tenants may want to review whether the stated reason actually falls within one of these defined categories. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help tenants understand whether a termination notice appears to align with the grounds recognized under this provision.
