Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.170
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.

Plain English

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.

For Property Managers

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.

For Tenants

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.
