Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.150
“Rent” defined.
Operative Text
“Rent” means all periodic payments to be made to the landlord for occupancy of a dwelling unit, including, without limitation, all reasonable and actual late fees set forth in the rental agreement.
Under Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.150, the term 'rent' in Nevada residential tenancy law encompasses all recurring payments a tenant makes to a landlord for the right to occupy a dwelling unit. Notably, the definition expressly includes reasonable and actual late fees that are spelled out in the rental agreement, meaning those fees are treated as part of rent rather than as separate charges. This definition shapes how other provisions of Chapter 118A apply whenever the word 'rent' appears throughout the statute.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Nevada law should be aware that Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.150 defines 'rent' to include not just base periodic payments but also any late fees that are both reasonable and actual and that are explicitly stated in the rental agreement. Compliant operators typically ensure their rental agreements clearly itemize any late fees so those charges fall within this statutory definition and are enforceable as rent. Because the definition ties late-fee inclusion to what is 'set forth in the rental agreement,' operators generally document all such fees in writing before they are assessed.

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.150 establishes that 'rent' under Nevada law covers all periodic payments for occupancy, and it specifically brings reasonable and actual late fees into that definition when those fees are written into the rental agreement. This means that rights and protections tied to 'rent' throughout Chapter 118A may extend to late fees as well, depending on how a given provision applies. Tenants who believe a late fee is unreasonable or was not properly disclosed in their rental agreement may wish to review their lease carefully and consider reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization or a Nevada legal aid office for general information.
