Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.315
Petition by landlord for relief from certain requirements relating to shutdown.
Operative Text
1. If a shutdown continues for a period of 30 days or more, the landlord may petition the court for relief from the requirements prescribed in subsection 4 of NRS 40.251 and subsection 2 of NRS 118A.310 on the basis that the requirements impose an undue hardship on the landlord. In determining whether to grant relief from these requirements, the court may consider, without limitation: (a) The mortgage on the property and the risk of foreclosure; and (b) Any additional financial responsibilities of the landlord, including, without limitation: (1) Child support or alimony; (2) Educational costs which must be paid by the landlord; (3) Motor vehicle payments, student loans, medical bills and payment plans; and (4) Any costs associated with the continued operation of a business of the landlord. 2. If the court grants relief pursuant to subsection 1: (a) The parties may modify the terms of the rental agreement; or (b) The landlord may terminate the rental agreement and commence eviction proceedings in accordance with the provisions of chapter 40 of NRS. MISCELLANEOUS RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF LANDLORD AND TENANT
Under Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.315, when a property shutdown lasts 30 days or more, a landlord may ask a court to waive certain notice and relocation-assistance obligations on the grounds that those requirements create an undue financial hardship. Courts weighing such a petition may look at factors like mortgage obligations, foreclosure risk, and the landlord's personal financial burdens. If the court grants relief, the rental agreement may either be modified by mutual agreement or terminated by the landlord, who may then pursue eviction under Nevada's Chapter 40 procedures.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.315 gives landlords a formal court-based avenue to seek relief from specific shutdown-related obligations when a shutdown has continued for at least 30 days. Operators who pursue this route typically document their financial circumstances thoroughly—mortgage statements, foreclosure risk, and any personal financial obligations—because the court weighs all of these factors. If relief is granted, a compliant operator either negotiates modified lease terms with the tenant or follows Chapter 40 eviction procedures after terminating the agreement.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.315 means that during a prolonged shutdown, a landlord can go to court to be excused from certain protections—such as notice requirements and relocation assistance—that would otherwise apply to you. If a court grants that relief, your rental agreement could be changed or ended, potentially leading to eviction proceedings under Chapter 40. Tenants in this situation may want to review the specific protections at issue under NRS 40.251 and NRS 118A.310, and can explore options such as raising a defense in court, contacting a local tenant-rights organization, or reaching out to Nevada's legal aid resources.
