Under Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.040, before collecting any application fee, a landlord operating a manufactured home park must hand prospective tenants a package of documents that includes the rental agreement, park rules, any pending sale or closure notices, acceptance criteria, a five-year rent-increase history, and the landlord's maintenance responsibilities. All rental agreements for manufactured home lots must be in writing, and the landlord must give the tenant a signed copy at the time of signing. The written agreement must address a specific list of topics—ranging from rent amount and late fees to lot dimensions, capital-improvement charges, and the tenant's right to display the U.S. flag—ensuring both parties have a clear, documented understanding of the tenancy terms.

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.040 requires operators of manufactured home parks to assemble and deliver a complete pre-application disclosure package—covering the lease, park rules, rent history, acceptance criteria, and maintenance obligations—before accepting any application fee. Compliant operators also ensure every rental agreement is in writing and contains all enumerated provisions, including separately stated capital-improvement charges, subletting restrictions, and utility responsibilities. Providing the tenant with a signed copy of the agreement at the moment of execution is a core obligation under this section.

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.040 gives prospective manufactured-home-lot tenants the right to receive key documents—including the lease, park rules, a five-year rent-increase history, and the landlord's maintenance duties—before any application fee is collected. If a landlord fails to provide these disclosures or a written, signed copy of the lease, that failure may be relevant to any dispute about the tenancy's terms. Tenants who believe these requirements have not been met can document the gap, contact Nevada's housing authorities, or reach out to a tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
