Operative Text
1. Except as otherwise provided in subsections 3 and 4, any repair to a manufactured home, including, without limitation, any repair which may affect the structural, electrical, plumbing, drainage, roofing, mechanical or solid fuel burning systems of the home, or requires a permit before the repair may be performed, may be performed legally only by a person who is qualified by licensure pursuant to chapter 489 of NRS to perform such a repair, and: (a) A person shall not perform the repair unless the person has such qualifications; and (b) A tenant or a landlord, or his or her agent or employee, shall not employ a third party to perform the repair if he or she knows or, in light of all the surrounding facts and circumstances, reasonably should know that the third party does not have such qualifications. 2. The Administrator shall adopt regulations to specify the repairs that a person without an applicable license may make to a manufactured home in accordance with the provisions of this section and chapter 489 of NRS. 3. A person may perform any repair described in this section without obtaining a license pursuant to chapter 489 of NRS if: (a) The repair does not affect the fuel systems or structural systems of the manufactured home; and (b) The person performing the repair is appropriately licensed pursuant to chapter 624 of NRS. 4. A person may perform any repair described in this section without obtaining a license pursuant to chapter 489 or 624 of NRS if: (a) The repair does not affect the fuel systems or structural systems of the manufactured home; (b) The repair does not require a permit before the repair may be performed; and (c) The value of the repair is less than $1,000 and the provisions of chapter 624 of NRS do not require the person to be licensed pursuant to chapter 624 of NRS to perform the repair. 5. Any complaint concerning any repair performed pursuant to this section by a person licensed pursuant to chapter 624 of NRS: (a) May be filed with the Division; and (b) If the Division issues a final order finding that an act or omission occurred which is a ground for disciplinary action pursuant to NRS 489.416, the Division shall forward the final order and any related findings and conclusions to the State Contractors’ Board for consideration of further disciplinary action pursuant to chapter 624 of NRS.
Under Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.097, repairs to a manufactured home that touch structural, electrical, plumbing, drainage, roofing, mechanical, or solid-fuel-burning systems—or that require a permit—must generally be performed by someone licensed under Nevada's manufactured housing law (NRS chapter 489). Two exceptions exist: a contractor licensed under NRS chapter 624 may handle non-fuel, non-structural repairs, and an unlicensed person may handle minor non-fuel, non-structural repairs that need no permit and cost less than $1,000. Complaints about repairs done by chapter 624 contractors can be filed with the Division, which may refer findings to the State Contractors' Board for further disciplinary action.

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.097 places an affirmative obligation on landlords and their agents not to hire a third party for manufactured-home repairs when they know—or reasonably should know—that the third party lacks the required licensure. Compliant operators typically verify that any contractor hired for structural, electrical, plumbing, roofing, mechanical, or permit-required work holds an active NRS chapter 489 license, or qualifies under one of the statute's narrower exceptions. Keeping documentation of contractor license verification for each repair project is a practice consistent with the requirements of this section.

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.097 gives tenants a basis to raise concerns when repairs to their manufactured home are performed by unlicensed individuals, since the law generally prohibits such work on systems like electrical, plumbing, structural, or roofing components. If a repair was done by a contractor licensed under NRS chapter 624, tenants have an explicit path to file a complaint with the Division, which can then refer the matter to the State Contractors' Board. Tenants who believe this provision has been violated may also consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid office to understand the range of options available to them.
