Operative Text
1. A tenant or a landlord, or his or her agent or employee, shall not make any connection of electricity, water, natural gas or propane to a manufactured home except as authorized by law. 2. An employee of the Division who has cause to believe that a tenant or a landlord, or his or her agent or employee, has violated subsection 1 shall report the suspected violation to: (a) The Administrator; and (b) The appropriate utility.
Under Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.154, neither a tenant nor a landlord—nor any agent or employee of either—may connect electricity, water, natural gas, or propane to a manufactured home unless that connection is authorized by law. When a Division employee has cause to believe such an unauthorized connection has occurred, the statute requires them to report the suspected violation to both the Administrator and the relevant utility. The provision creates a dual-reporting obligation designed to ensure that unauthorized utility connections are flagged to both the regulatory authority and the affected utility company.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.154 applies to landlords, their agents, and employees operating in manufactured home communities, prohibiting any utility connection—electricity, water, natural gas, or propane—that is not authorized by law. Compliant operators ensure that all utility connections are made through properly licensed contractors and in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Landlords generally maintain documentation showing that connections were performed with proper authorization, which can be important if a Division employee reports a suspected violation to the Administrator or the utility.

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.154 prohibits tenants, as well as their agents or employees, from making unauthorized connections of electricity, water, natural gas, or propane to a manufactured home. Tenants who believe a landlord or another party has made an unauthorized utility connection may report their concerns to the Division, which is empowered to refer suspected violations to the Administrator and the appropriate utility. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Nevada manufactured housing law can help residents understand what qualifies as an authorized connection and what reporting options may be available.
