Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.035
Approval of landlord to be in writing.
Operative Text
If a statute requires that a tenant obtain the approval of the landlord on a particular matter and the landlord gives his or her approval, the landlord shall do so in writing. RENTAL AGREEMENTS; DEPOSITS
Under Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.035, whenever Nevada law requires a tenant to obtain a landlord's approval on a specific matter, any approval the landlord grants must be documented in writing. This rule ensures that verbal approvals are not sufficient when a statute specifically calls for landlord consent. The written-approval requirement creates a clear record for both parties regarding what was permitted.

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.035 requires that when a Nevada statute calls for a tenant to seek landlord approval, a compliant landlord provides that approval in a written document rather than verbally. Property managers generally maintain dated, signed written records of any such approvals to demonstrate compliance. Keeping organized files of these written approvals helps establish a clear paper trail if questions arise later.

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.035 gives tenants the right to receive any statutorily required landlord approval in writing, meaning a verbal "yes" is not enough under Nevada law. Tenants generally keep copies of any written approvals they receive as documentation of what the landlord has permitted. If a landlord refuses to put an approval in writing, tenant-rights organizations in Nevada can help explain what options may be available.
