Plain English

Under Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.235, a landlord or their agent must provide a copy of the written rental agreement to any prospective tenant who asks to see it before signing. The rule applies only when a written agreement exists and only when the prospective tenant makes a request. This disclosure requirement is part of Nevada's broader framework ensuring that people can review the terms they would be bound by before committing to a tenancy.

For Property Managers

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.235 places the disclosure obligation on landlords and their agents, meaning property managers acting on a landlord's behalf are equally covered. Compliant operators generally keep a current copy of their standard written rental agreement readily available so it can be furnished promptly when a prospective tenant asks. Having a consistent process for responding to these requests—such as providing the document at the time of a showing or application—reflects the kind of operational readiness the statute contemplates.

For Tenants

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.235 gives prospective tenants the right to request and receive a copy of the written rental agreement before deciding whether to rent. If a landlord or their agent refuses or fails to provide the agreement upon request, that refusal may be relevant to a complaint or inquiry directed to a local housing authority or tenant-rights organization. Reviewing the full agreement in advance allows a prospective tenant to understand the terms—such as rent amount, fees, and rules—that would govern the tenancy.
