For Property Managers

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.405 creates direct financial exposure for property owners who do not follow the periodic-rent disclosure rules in NRS 118A.200(6) and (7). Operators who stay compliant generally ensure that all required rent-amount disclosures are made accurately and without any misleading statements, since each deceptive violation can trigger a separate $250 statutory damages award on top of actual damages and attorney's fees. Maintaining clear, documented disclosure practices is a common approach among operators seeking to avoid liability under this provision.

For Tenants

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.405 gives tenants who are harmed by a landlord's failure to properly disclose the amount of periodic rent the ability to file a civil lawsuit in any court of competent jurisdiction. A tenant who prevails can receive actual damages, equitable relief, court costs, attorney's fees, and $250 in statutory damages for each violation that involved deception. Tenants who believe their rights under this provision have been violated may consider consulting a tenant-rights organization or legal aid office to understand the options available to them.
