Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.028
Enforcement of subpoena issued by Division.
Operative Text
If any person to whom the Administrator has directed a subpoena refuses to produce any books, papers or documents which the subpoena requires, the Administrator may apply to the district court for the judicial district in which the investigation is being carried on for the enforcement of the subpoena in the manner provided by law for the enforcement of a subpoena in a civil action. If the person to whom the subpoena was directed objects that the material not produced is not strictly relevant, the burden is upon the Administrator to show probable relevance.
Under Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.028, when the Administrator of Nevada's manufactured housing division issues a subpoena requiring someone to produce books, papers, or documents and that person refuses, the Administrator can seek a district court order compelling compliance. The court process follows the same procedures used to enforce subpoenas in civil litigation. If the subpoenaed party argues that the requested materials are not relevant to the investigation, the burden falls on the Administrator to demonstrate probable relevance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.028 establishes that manufactured housing community operators who receive an Administrator's subpoena for records are subject to court-enforced compliance if they decline to produce the requested materials. Compliant operators generally maintain organized records and respond to official subpoenas in a timely manner, understanding that refusal can escalate to district court proceedings. Operators who believe requested materials fall outside the scope of the investigation may raise a relevance objection, which shifts the burden to the Administrator to show probable relevance.

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.028 is part of the framework that gives the Administrator investigative authority, including the power to compel document production through the courts, which can support enforcement actions that protect manufactured housing residents. If a tenant has filed a complaint that triggers an investigation, this provision helps ensure that relevant records can be obtained even if a party resists producing them. Tenants seeking to understand how this investigative process works in practice may find it useful to consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with Nevada's manufactured housing laws.
