Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.250
Receipts for security deposit, surety bond, rent and other payments.
Operative Text
The landlord shall deliver to the tenant upon the tenant’s request a signed written receipt for the security deposit or surety bond, or a combination thereof, and any other payments, deposits or fees, including rent, paid by the tenant and received by the landlord. The tenant may refuse to make rent payments until the landlord tenders the requested receipt.
Under Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.250, a landlord in Nevada must provide a signed written receipt for any payment made by a tenant—including security deposits, surety bonds, and rent—whenever the tenant requests one. If the landlord fails to produce the requested receipt, the tenant is permitted to withhold rent payments until the receipt is delivered. The provision creates both an obligation for landlords and a specific remedy for tenants tied directly to that obligation.

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.250 requires Nevada landlords to issue a signed written receipt for security deposits, surety bonds, rent, and any other fees or payments whenever a tenant asks for one. Compliant operators typically maintain a system for promptly generating and delivering these receipts upon request, keeping copies for their own records. Because a tenant's right to withhold rent is triggered by a landlord's failure to tender the requested receipt, timely compliance is a standard part of professional property management practice in Nevada.
