Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.140
1. Except as otherwise provided in
subsection 2, the landlord or his or her agent or employee shall not:
(a) Require a person to purchase a manufactured
home from the landlord or any other person as a condition to renting a
manufactured home lot to the purchaser or give an adjustment of rent or fees,
or provide any other incentive to induce the purchase of a manufactured home
from the landlord or any other person.
(b) Charge or receive:
(1) Any entrance or exit fee for assuming
or leaving occupancy of a manufactured home lot.
(2) Any transfer or selling fee or commission
as a condition to permitting a tenant to sell his or her manufactured home or
recreational vehicle within the manufactured home park, even if the
manufactured home or recreational vehicle is to remain within the park, unless
the landlord is licensed as a dealer of manufactured homes pursuant to NRS 489.311 and has acted as the tenant’s
agent in the sale pursuant to a written contract.
(3) Any fee for the tenant’s spouse or
children.
(4) Any fee for pets kept by a tenant in
the park. If special facilities or services are provided, the landlord may also
charge a fee reasonably related to the cost of maintenance of the facility or
service and the number of pets kept in the facility.
(5) Any additional service fee unless the
landlord provides an additional service which is needed to protect the health
and welfare of the tenants, and written notice advising each tenant of the
additional fee is sent to the tenant 90 days in advance of the first payment to
be made, and written notice of the additional fee is given to prospective
tenants on or before commencement of their tenancy. A tenant may only be
required to pay the additional service fee for the duration of the additional
service.
(6) Any fee for a late monthly rental
payment within 4 days after the date the rental payment is due or which exceeds
$5 for each day, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, which the
payment is overdue, beginning on the day after the payment was due. Any fee for
late payment of charges for utilities must be in accordance with the
requirements prescribed by the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada.
(7) Any fee for a late monthly rental
payment by a federal worker, tribal worker, state worker or household member of
such a worker during a shutdown.
(8) Any fee, surcharge or rent increase to
recover from his or her tenants the costs resulting from converting from a
master-metered water system to individual water meters for each manufactured
home lot.
(9) Any fee, surcharge or rent increase to
recover from his or her tenants any amount that exceeds the amount of the cost
for a governmentally mandated service or tax that was paid by the landlord.
2. Except for the provisions of
subparagraphs (3), (4), (6) and (9) of paragraph (b) of subsection 1, the
provisions of this section do not apply to a corporate cooperative park.

Plain English

Under Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.140, landlords of manufactured home parks in Nevada are prohibited from tying lot rentals to home purchases, collecting entrance or exit fees, taking commissions on tenant home sales (unless licensed and acting as agent), or charging fees for spouses, children, or pets beyond facility-maintenance costs. Late fees are capped at $5 per non-holiday weekday and cannot be charged within the first four days after rent is due. Additional service fees require 90 days' written notice to existing tenants and upfront notice to new ones, and cost-recovery surcharges are limited to actual governmentally mandated costs.

For Property Managers

Compliant operators under Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.140 avoid any fee structures that the statute expressly prohibits—such as entrance or exit charges, pet fees beyond documented facility costs, or late fees that exceed the daily cap or fall within the four-day grace period. When a new service fee becomes necessary, operators provide written notice to all current tenants at least 90 days before the first payment is due and disclose the fee to prospective tenants before their tenancy begins. Operators also ensure that any cost-recovery charges do not exceed the actual amount of the governmentally mandated service or tax.

For Tenants

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.140 gives manufactured home park tenants in Nevada the right to be free from a wide range of prohibited fees, including entrance or exit charges, unauthorized pet fees, and late fees that exceed the statutory cap or are assessed within the four-day grace period. Tenants who believe a landlord has charged a prohibited fee may raise the violation as a defense in any related proceeding or file a complaint with the appropriate Nevada housing authority. Consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Nevada manufactured housing law can help clarify which remedies may be available.
