Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.325
Right of tenant to display flag of the United States in certain areas; conditions and limitations on exercise of right.
Operative Text
1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, a landlord or an agent or employee of a landlord shall not prohibit a tenant from engaging in the display of the flag of the United States within such physical portion of the premises as that tenant has a right to occupy and use exclusively. 2. The provisions of this section do not: (a) Apply to the display of the flag of the United States for commercial advertising purposes. (b) Preclude a landlord or an agent or employee of a landlord from adopting rules that reasonably restrict the placement and manner of the display of the flag of the United States by a tenant. 3. In any action commenced to enforce the provisions of this section, the prevailing party is entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. 4. As used in this section, “display of the flag of the United States” means a flag of the United States that is: (a) Made of cloth, fabric or paper; (b) Displayed from a pole or staff or in a window; and (c) Displayed in a manner that is consistent with 4 U.S.C. Chapter 1. Ê The term does not include a depiction or emblem of the flag of the United States that is made of balloons, flora, lights, paint, paving materials, roofing, siding or any other similar building, decorative or landscaping component.
Under Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.325, landlords in Nevada cannot bar tenants from displaying a U.S. flag—made of cloth, fabric, or paper and shown from a pole, staff, or window in accordance with federal flag code—within the areas a tenant exclusively occupies. The rule does not cover flags used for commercial advertising, and landlords may still adopt reasonable rules about placement and manner of display. The prevailing party in any enforcement action brought under this section may recover attorney's fees and costs.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.325 means that compliant Nevada landlords and their agents refrain from lease terms or policies that outright ban U.S. flag displays in tenants' exclusive-use spaces. Operators may, however, adopt written rules that reasonably govern where and how flags are hung—such as limiting pole size or restricting exterior attachment methods—so long as those rules do not amount to a blanket prohibition. Because the prevailing party in a § 118A.325 enforcement action can recover attorney's fees, maintaining clear, narrowly tailored display policies is a common practice among compliant property managers.

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.325 gives Nevada tenants the right to display a qualifying U.S. flag—cloth, fabric, or paper, shown from a pole, staff, or window consistent with federal flag code—within the space they exclusively occupy. A landlord may impose reasonable rules on placement and manner, but a flat prohibition on such displays is not permitted under this section. Tenants who believe this right has been violated may consider consulting a tenant-rights organization or an attorney, and should be aware that the prevailing party in a court action under § 118A.325 may recover reasonable attorney's fees and costs.
