Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.050
Rental agreements: Void provisions.
Operative Text
Any provision in a rental agreement or lease for a manufactured home lot which provides that the tenant: 1. Agrees to waive or forego any rights or remedies afforded by this chapter; 2. Authorizes any person to confess judgment on any claim arising out of the rental agreement; 3. Agrees to pay the landlord’s attorney’s fees or costs, or both, except that the agreement may provide that attorney’s fees may be awarded to the prevailing party in the event of court action; 4. Agrees to the exculpation or limitation of any liability of the landlord arising under law or to indemnify the landlord for that liability or costs connected therewith, if the liability is based upon an act or omission of the landlord or any agent or employee of the landlord; 5. Agrees to a period within which the tenant will give notice to the landlord of the termination of the tenancy which is longer than the term of the lease; or 6. Agrees to pay any additional charge for children or pets, unless the landlord provides a special service regarding children or pets, Ê is void. A tenant may recover actual damages resulting from the enforcement of such a provision.
Under Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.050, certain clauses in manufactured home lot rental agreements are declared void by Nevada law, meaning they have no legal effect even if a tenant signed them. These include clauses that waive tenant rights, authorize confession of judgment, require tenants to pay landlord attorney's fees unconditionally, limit landlord liability for the landlord's own acts, require notice of termination longer than the lease term, or impose extra charges for children or pets without a corresponding special service. A tenant who suffers actual damages because a landlord tried to enforce one of these void provisions may seek recovery of those damages.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured home lot communities in Nevada should review their lease templates to ensure no clause falls into the categories voided by Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.050. Compliant agreements generally omit blanket attorney's fee-shifting provisions in favor of a mutual prevailing-party clause, avoid any language limiting the landlord's liability for the landlord's own conduct, and do not impose surcharges for children or pets unless a documented special service is provided. Attempting to enforce a void provision exposes the landlord to liability for any actual damages the tenant sustains as a result.
