Operative Text
“Utility” includes: 1. A public utility which provides: (a) Electricity; (b) Natural gas; (c) Liquefied petroleum gas; (d) Sewer services; (e) Garbage collection; or (f) Water. 2. A video service provider which provides video service pursuant to chapter 711 of NRS.
Under Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.0195, Nevada's manufactured-home park law defines 'utility' to cover both traditional public utilities—electricity, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, sewer services, garbage collection, and water—and video service providers operating under NRS chapter 711. This definition establishes the scope of services that qualify as utilities throughout Chapter 118B, meaning any rights, obligations, or protections tied to 'utility' in that chapter apply to all of these service types. The definition is foundational rather than independently operative, shaping how other provisions in the chapter are interpreted and applied.

Operators of manufactured-home parks in Nevada should be aware that Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.0195 broadly defines 'utility' to include not only conventional services like electricity, gas, and water, but also video service providers under NRS chapter 711. Compliant park operators generally account for this full range of services when drafting lease terms, setting pass-through charges, or disclosing utility arrangements to residents. Because the definition is used throughout Chapter 118B, any park policy touching on utility billing or service access is measured against this inclusive standard.

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.0195 establishes that 'utility' under Nevada's manufactured-home park law covers a wide array of services—from water and electricity to video service—so tenant protections related to utilities in Chapter 118B extend to all of these categories. Residents who believe a park owner is mishandling charges or access for any of these services may have grounds to raise a violation under Chapter 118B. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Nevada manufactured-home park law can help residents understand how this definition interacts with other provisions in the chapter.
