Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.420
Failure of tenant to comply with rental agreement or perform basic obligations: Damages; injunctive relief.
Operative Text
Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the landlord may recover damages and obtain injunctive relief for failure of the tenant to comply with the rental agreement or perform his or her basic obligations under this chapter.
Under Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.420, Nevada law gives landlords two civil remedies when a tenant fails to follow the rental agreement or meet the basic obligations set out in Chapter 118A: monetary damages and injunctive relief. Damages are intended to compensate the landlord for losses caused by the tenant's noncompliance, while injunctive relief is a court order requiring the tenant to stop or correct the offending conduct. Both remedies are subject to any other provisions within Chapter 118A that may limit or modify their availability.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.420 provides property owners and managers with a legal basis to pursue court-ordered remedies when a tenant breaches the lease or fails to meet statutory obligations. Operators who document lease terms clearly and keep records of any noncompliance—such as property damage, unauthorized occupants, or unpaid charges—are generally better positioned to pursue damages or injunctive relief under this section. Because both remedies require court involvement, landlords typically work with legal counsel to initiate the appropriate civil action.

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.420 authorizes landlords to seek damages or a court injunction against tenants who do not comply with the rental agreement or Chapter 118A's basic tenant obligations. Tenants facing such a claim have the right to respond in court and may raise defenses, including whether the landlord has fulfilled their own obligations under Chapter 118A. Tenants who receive notice of legal action under this provision may find it helpful to contact a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office to understand available options.
