Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.183

1. A landlord may convert an existing
manufactured home park to any other use of the land if the change is approved
by the appropriate local zoning board, planning commission or governing body.
In addition to any other reasons, a landlord may apply for such approval if the
landlord is forced to close the manufactured home park because of a valid order
of a state or local governmental agency or court requiring the closure of the
manufactured home park for health or safety reasons.
2. The landlord may undertake a conversion
pursuant to this section only if:

application for the change in land use with the local zoning board, planning
commission or governing body;
(b) The landlord pays the amounts required by
subsections 4, 5 and 6;

of the change by the appropriate local zoning board, planning commission or
governing body, written notice is served on each tenant in the manner provided

least 180 days after the date of the notice before the tenant is required to
move his or her manufactured home from the lot; and
(d) The landlord complies with the provisions of NRS 118B.184 concerning the submission of
a resident impact statement.
3. At the time of providing notice of the

(1) The cost of moving the tenant’s
manufactured home and its appurtenances to a new location in this State or
another state within 150 miles from the manufactured home park; or

miles from the manufactured home park, the cost of moving the manufactured home
for the first 150 miles,
Ê including
fees for inspection, any deposits for connecting utilities and the cost of

its appurtenances in the new lot or park.
5. If the landlord is unable to move a
shed, due to its physical condition, that belongs to a tenant who has elected
to have the landlord move his or her manufactured home, the landlord shall pay
the tenant $250 as reimbursement for the shed. Each tenant may receive only one
payment of $250 even if more than one shed is owned by the tenant.
6. If the tenant chooses not to move the

home; and
(b) Shall pay to the tenant the fair market value
of the manufactured home.
7. A landlord shall not increase the rent
of any tenant:
(a) For 180 days before filing an application for
a change in land use, permit or variance affecting the manufactured home park;
or
(b) At any time after filing an application for a
change in land use, permit or variance affecting the manufactured home park
unless:
(1) The landlord withdraws the application
or the appropriate local zoning board, planning commission or governing body
denies the application; and
(2) The landlord continues to operate the
manufactured home park after the withdrawal or denial.
8. For the purposes of this section, the
fair market value of a manufactured home must be determined as follows:
