Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.020
Applicability.
Operative Text
The provisions of this chapter do not apply to: 1. Manufactured home parks operated by public housing authorities and established pursuant to the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended (now 42 U.S.C. §§ 1437 et seq.). 2. Any lot in a manufactured home park which is rented or held out for rent overnight or for less than 3 months. 3. Any recreational vehicle located on a lot described in subsection 2. 4. Any lot in a manufactured home park or manufactured home on such a lot which is used occasionally for recreational purposes and not as a permanent residence.
Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.020 defines the boundaries of Nevada's manufactured home park regulations by listing situations where the chapter's protections simply do not apply. Specifically, the chapter excludes public-housing-authority parks established under federal law, short-term or overnight lot rentals (under three months), recreational vehicles on those short-term lots, and lots or homes used only occasionally for recreation rather than as a permanent residence. Understanding these exclusions helps clarify whether a given park, lot, or home falls within or outside the chapter's scope.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured home parks should be aware that Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.020 carves out several categories of parks and lots from the chapter's requirements entirely. Compliant operators typically assess each lot and tenancy type—distinguishing permanent residential tenancies from short-term, overnight, or recreational-use arrangements—to determine whether the chapter's rules govern that relationship. Parks run by public housing authorities under the federal Housing Act of 1937 are also outside the chapter's reach under this provision.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
If you rent a lot or occupy a manufactured home in Nevada, Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.020 determines whether Chapter 118B's tenant protections extend to your situation. Residents in permanent, long-term arrangements (three months or more) at privately operated parks are generally within the chapter's scope, while those in short-term, overnight, or recreational-use settings are not. Tenants who are uncertain whether their tenancy qualifies for Chapter 118B protections may wish to contact a local tenant-rights organization or Nevada's legal aid services for general guidance.
