Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.150
1. Except as otherwise provided in
subsections 2 and 3, the landlord or his or her agent or employee shall not:
(a) Increase rent or additional charges unless:
(1) The rent charged after the increase is
the same rent charged for manufactured homes of the same size or lots of the
same size or of a similar location within the park, including, without
limitation, manufactured homes and lots which are held pursuant to a long-term
lease, except that a discount may be selectively given to persons who:
(I) Are handicapped;
(II) Are 55 years of age or older;
(III) Are long-term tenants of the
park if the landlord has specified in the rental agreement or lease the period
of tenancy required to qualify for such a discount;
(IV) Pay their rent in a timely
manner; or
(V) Pay their rent by check, money
order or electronic means;
(2) Any increase in additional charges for
special services is the same amount for each tenant using the special service;
and
(3) Written notice advising a tenant of
the increase is received by the tenant 90 days before the first payment to be
increased and written notice of the increase is given to prospective tenants
before commencement of their tenancy. In addition to the notice provided to a
tenant pursuant to this subparagraph, if the landlord or his or her agent or
employee knows or reasonably should know that the tenant receives assistance
from the Account, the landlord or his or her agent or employee shall provide to
the Administrator written notice of the increase 90 days before the first
payment to be increased.
(b) Require a tenant to pay for an improvement to
the common area of a manufactured home park unless the landlord is required to
make the improvement pursuant to an ordinance of a local government.
(c) Require a tenant to pay for a capital
improvement to the manufactured home park unless the tenant has notice of the
requirement at the time the tenant enters into the rental agreement. A tenant
may not be required to pay for a capital improvement after the tenant enters
into the rental agreement unless the tenant consents to it in writing or is
given 60 days’ notice of the requirement in writing. The landlord may not
establish such a requirement unless a meeting of the tenants is held to discuss
the proposal and the landlord provides each tenant with notice of the proposal
and the date, time and place of the meeting not less than 60 days before the
meeting. The notice must include a copy of the proposal. A notice in a periodic
publication of the park does not constitute notice for the purposes of this
paragraph.
(d) Require a tenant to pay the rent by check or
money order.
(e) Require a tenant who pays the rent in cash to
apply any change to which the tenant is entitled to the next periodic payment
that is due. The landlord or his or her agent or employee shall have an
adequate amount of money available to provide change to such a tenant.
(f) Prohibit or require fees or deposits for any
meetings held in the park’s community or recreational facility by the tenants
or occupants of any manufactured home or recreational vehicle in the park to
discuss the park’s affairs, or any political meeting sponsored by a tenant, if
the meetings are held at reasonable hours and when the facility is not
otherwise in use, or prohibit the distribution of notices of those meetings.
(g) Interrupt, with the intent to terminate
occupancy, any utility service furnished the tenant except for nonpayment of
utility charges when due. Any landlord who violates this paragraph is liable to
the tenant for actual damages.
(h) Prohibit a tenant from having guests, but the
landlord may require the tenant to register the guest within 48 hours after his
or her arrival, Sundays and legal holidays excluded, and if the park is a
secured park, a guest may be required to register upon entering and leaving.
(i) Charge a fee for a guest who does not stay
with the tenant for more than a total of 60 days in a calendar year. The tenant
of a manufactured home lot who is living alone may allow one other person to
live in his or her home without paying an additional charge or fee, unless such
a living arrangement constitutes a violation of chapter
315 of NRS. No agreement between a tenant and his or her guest alters or
varies the terms of the rental contract between the tenant and the landlord,
and the guest is subject to the rules and regulations of the landlord.
(j) Prohibit a tenant from erecting a fence on
the tenant’s lot if the fence complies with any standards for fences
established by the landlord, including limitations established for the location
and height of fences, the materials used for fences and the manner in which
fences are to be constructed.
(k) Prohibit any tenant from soliciting
membership in any association which is formed by the tenants who live in the
park. As used in this paragraph, “solicit” means to make an oral or written
request for membership or the payment of dues or to distribute, circulate or
post a notice for payment of those dues.
(l) Prohibit a public officer, candidate for
public office or the representative of a public officer or candidate for public
office from walking through the park to talk with the tenants or distribute
political material.
(m) If a tenant has voluntarily assumed
responsibility to trim the trees on his or her lot, require the tenant to trim
any particular tree located on the lot or dispose of the trimmings unless a
danger or hazard exists.
(n) Charge a 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.
2. The landlord is entitled to require a
security deposit from a tenant who wants to use the manufactured home park’s
clubhouse, swimming pool or other park facilities for the tenant’s exclusive
use. The landlord may require the deposit at least 1 week before the use. The
landlord shall apply the deposit to costs which occur due to damage or cleanup
from the tenant’s use within 1 week after the use, if any, and shall, on or
before the eighth day after the use, refund any unused portion of the deposit
to the tenant making the deposit. The landlord is not required to place such a
deposit into a financial institution or to pay interest on the deposit.
3. The provisions of paragraphs (a), (b),
(c), (j) and (m) of subsection 1 do not apply to a corporate cooperative park.
4. As used in this section, “long-term
lease” means a rental agreement or lease the duration of which exceeds 12
months.

Plain English

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.150 sets out a broad list of practices that manufactured home park landlords are prohibited from engaging in. The rule covers areas such as rent increases (which must be uniform across similarly situated lots and accompanied by 90 days' written notice), restrictions on charging tenants for common-area or capital improvements without proper notice and meetings, guest policies, fence rights, tenant association activities, utility service interruptions, and political access to the park. Certain provisions do not apply to corporate cooperative parks, and a separate allowance exists for landlords to collect security deposits when tenants reserve exclusive use of shared facilities.

For Property Managers

Operators of manufactured home parks subject to Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.150 generally maintain rent uniformity across comparable lots and unit sizes, deliver written rent-increase notices at least 90 days in advance, and provide the same notice to the Administrator when a tenant is known to receive assistance from the Account. Compliant operators also hold tenant meetings with at least 60 days' notice before proposing capital improvement charges, refrain from interrupting utility services except for nonpayment, and avoid charging fees for guest stays under 60 days per calendar year or for meetings held in community facilities at reasonable hours. Keeping documented records of notices, meeting dates, and any written tenant consents helps demonstrate adherence to the many procedural requirements this section imposes.

For Tenants

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.150 provides manufactured home park tenants with a range of protections, including the right to receive 90 days' written notice before any rent increase takes effect, the right to have guests without fees for stays under 60 days per year, and the right to erect a compliant fence on their lot. Tenants also have the right to hold meetings in park community facilities, form and solicit membership in tenant associations, and be free from utility service interruptions intended to force them out. Tenants who believe a landlord has violated these protections may consider raising the violation as a defense in any related proceeding, filing a complaint with the appropriate Nevada housing authority, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for general information about available options.
