Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.350
1. Except as otherwise provided in this
chapter, if the landlord fails to comply with the rental agreement, the tenant
shall deliver a written notice to the landlord specifying the acts and
omissions constituting the breach and stating that the rental agreement will
terminate as provided in this section. If the breach is remediable and the
landlord adequately remedies the breach or uses his or her best efforts to
remedy the breach within 14 days after receipt of the notice, the rental
agreement does not terminate by reason of the breach. If the landlord fails to
remedy the breach or make a reasonable effort to do so within the prescribed
time, the tenant may:
(a) Terminate the rental agreement immediately.
(b) Recover actual damages.
(c) Apply to the court for such relief as the
court deems proper under the circumstances.
2. The tenant may not terminate the rental
agreement for a condition caused by the tenant’s own deliberate or negligent
act or omission or that of a member of his or her household or other person on
the premises with his or her consent.
3. If the rental agreement is terminated,
the landlord shall return all prepaid rent and any security deposit recoverable
by the tenant under this chapter.
4. A tenant may not proceed under this
section unless the tenant has given notice as required by subsection 1, except
that the tenant may, without giving that notice, recover damages under
paragraph (b) of subsection 1 if the landlord:
(a) Admits to the court that the landlord had
knowledge of the condition constituting the breach; or
(b) Has received written notice of that condition
from a governmental agency authorized to inspect for violations of building,
housing or health codes.

Plain English

Under Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.350, when a landlord fails to comply with a rental agreement, the tenant must first deliver written notice describing the breach and stating that the agreement may terminate. The landlord then has 14 days to adequately remedy or make a best-effort attempt to remedy the breach before the tenant can terminate the agreement, seek actual damages, or pursue court relief. A tenant cannot invoke this provision for conditions caused by their own or their household's deliberate or negligent acts, and upon termination the landlord must return prepaid rent and any recoverable security deposit.

For Property Managers

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.350 places a 14-day cure window on landlords once they receive written notice of a rental-agreement breach, so compliant operators generally document their remediation steps and communicate progress to the tenant in writing. Landlords who receive notice from a government inspection agency should be aware that a tenant may pursue damages without the standard written-notice requirement in that circumstance. Upon any valid termination under this section, returning prepaid rent and recoverable security deposits promptly is part of the landlord's obligations.

For Tenants

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.350 gives tenants a structured path when a landlord fails to meet the terms of the rental agreement: deliver written notice specifying the breach, then wait to see whether the landlord remedies it within 14 days. If the landlord does not cure the breach, options available under this section include terminating the agreement, recovering actual damages, or seeking court relief. Tenants who believe this provision applies to their situation may find it useful to contact a local tenant-rights organization or consult the Nevada courts' self-help resources to understand which enforcement paths are available.
