Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.170
Rights and duties of landlord concerning sale of manufactured home or recreational vehicle located in park.
Operative Text
1. The landlord may require approval of a prospective buyer and tenant before the sale of a tenant’s manufactured home or recreational vehicle, if the manufactured home or vehicle will remain in the park. The landlord shall consider the record, if any, of the prospective buyer and tenant concerning the payment of rent. The landlord shall not unreasonably withhold his or her consent. 2. If a tenant sells his or her manufactured home or recreational vehicle, the landlord may require that the manufactured home or recreational vehicle be removed from the park if it is deemed by the park’s written rules or regulations in the possession of the tenants to be in a run-down condition or in disrepair or does not meet the safety standards set forth in NRS 461A.120. If the manufactured home must be inspected to determine compliance with the standards, the person requesting the inspection shall pay for it. 3. If the landlord requires the approval of a prospective buyer and tenant, the landlord shall: (a) Post and maintain a sign which is clearly readable at the entrance to the park which advises the reader that before a manufactured home in the park is sold, the prospective buyer must be approved by the landlord. (b) Approve or deny a completed application from a prospective buyer and tenant within 10 business days after the date of the submission of the application. (c) Inform the prospective buyer and tenant upon the submission of the completed application of the duty of the landlord to approve or deny the completed application within 10 business days after the date of submission of the completed application. 4. If the landlord requires the approval of a prospective buyer and tenant of a manufactured home or recreational vehicle and the manufactured home or recreational vehicle is sold without the approval of the landlord, the landlord may: (a) After providing at least 5 days’ written notice to the buyer and tenant, bring an action for an unlawful detainer in the manner prescribed in chapter 40 of NRS; or (b) Require the buyer and tenant to sign a rental agreement. If the buyer and tenant refuse to sign the rental agreement within 5 days after such a request, the landlord may, after providing at least 5 days’ written notice to the buyer and tenant, bring an action for an unlawful detainer in the manner provided in chapter 40 of NRS. 5. For the purposes of NRS 40.251, a person who: (a) Purchases a manufactured home or recreational vehicle from a tenant of a manufactured home park which will remain in the park; (b) Was required to be approved by the landlord of the manufactured home park before the sale of the manufactured home or recreational vehicle; and (c) Was not approved by the landlord before the person purchased that manufactured home or recreational vehicle, Ê shall be deemed a tenant at will and a lessee of the manufactured home park. 6. The provisions of this section do not apply to a corporate cooperative park.
Under Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.170, a manufactured home park landlord may require approval of a prospective buyer before a home or recreational vehicle is sold and remains in the park, but that approval cannot be withheld unreasonably and must be granted or denied within 10 business days of a completed application. If a home is in run-down condition, disrepair, or fails applicable safety standards, the landlord may require its removal upon sale. A buyer who purchases without obtaining required landlord approval is treated as a tenant at will, which can expose them to unlawful detainer proceedings under Nevada law.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.170 sets out specific procedural obligations for park operators who choose to screen prospective buyers: a clearly readable sign must be posted at the park entrance, and a completed application must receive a written approval or denial within 10 business days. Compliant operators also inform applicants of that 10-day deadline at the time of submission and evaluate payment-of-rent history without unreasonably withholding consent. When a sale occurs without required approval, the statute provides remedies including unlawful detainer after proper written notice, but these steps must follow the timelines the provision prescribes.

Under Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.170, a tenant selling a home that will remain in the park should be aware that the landlord's approval right is limited — consent cannot be unreasonably withheld, and a decision must come within 10 business days of a completed application. A buyer who skips the approval process may be classified as a tenant at will and face eviction proceedings, so understanding this provision before completing a sale can be important. Tenants and prospective buyers with questions about whether an approval was improperly denied may consider contacting a tenant-rights organization or reviewing Nevada's manufactured housing statutes for further guidance.
