Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.0113
“Capital improvement” defined.
Operative Text
“Capital improvement” means an addition or betterment made to a manufactured home park that: 1. Consists of more than the repair or replacement of an existing facility; 2. Is required by law to be amortized over its useful life for the purposes of income tax; and 3. Has a useful life of 5 years or more.
Under Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.0113, Nevada law defines a 'capital improvement' in the context of manufactured home parks as an addition or betterment that goes beyond mere repair or replacement of an existing facility, must be amortized over its useful life for income-tax purposes, and has a useful life of at least five years. This definition matters because capital improvements are treated differently from routine maintenance under Nevada's manufactured home park regulations. The classification can affect how costs are calculated and potentially passed through to residents.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured home parks in Nevada should understand that Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.0113 sets a specific three-part test for what qualifies as a capital improvement. Compliant operators generally document that a project exceeds ordinary repair or replacement, confirm it meets income-tax amortization requirements, and verify it has a useful life of five or more years before treating it as a capital improvement under Chapter 118B. Proper classification under this definition is typically a prerequisite for any cost-recovery or rent-adjustment process tied to capital improvements.

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.0113 establishes the legal definition of 'capital improvement' that applies throughout Nevada's manufactured home park statutes, which means this definition can be relevant whenever a park owner seeks to justify a rent increase or fee based on a claimed capital improvement. Tenants who receive notice of a rent adjustment tied to a capital improvement may want to review whether the project actually meets all three criteria set out in § 118B.0113. Tenant-rights organizations and local legal aid offices can help residents understand how this definition interacts with other protections in Chapter 118B.
