Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.220
Fitness of manufactured home or recreational vehicle for occupancy.
Operative Text
1. If a manufactured home or recreational vehicle is made unfit for occupancy for any period in excess of 48 hours by any cause for which the landlord is responsible or over which the landlord has control, the rent may be, at the tenant’s option, proportionately abated, and if it is, must be refunded or credited against the following month’s rent. The tenant need not abandon the manufactured home or recreational vehicle as a prerequisite to seeking relief under this subsection. 2. As an alternative to the abatement of rent, the tenant may procure reasonable substitute housing for occupancy while his or her manufactured home or recreational vehicle remains unfit and may: (a) Recover the actual and reasonable cost of the substitute housing from the landlord; or (b) Deduct the cost from future rent. 3. A manufactured home shall be deemed unfit for occupancy if essential services such as fuel, water, electricity or sewer service are not being adequately provided to the manufactured home.
Under Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.220, when a landlord's actions or responsibilities cause a manufactured home or recreational vehicle to become unfit for occupancy for more than 48 hours, the tenant's rent may be proportionately reduced for that period, with any abated amount refunded or credited toward the next month's rent. The tenant is not required to vacate the home in order to seek this relief. As an alternative, the tenant may arrange reasonable substitute housing and either recover those costs from the landlord or deduct them from future rent. A manufactured home is considered unfit when essential services such as fuel, water, electricity, or sewer are not adequately provided.

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.220 places the responsibility on landlords to maintain conditions that keep manufactured homes and recreational vehicles fit for occupancy, including ensuring that essential services like water, electricity, fuel, and sewer remain adequately available. When a landlord-caused condition renders a unit unfit for more than 48 hours, compliant operators generally address the underlying issue promptly and are prepared to refund or credit proportionate rent for the affected period. Operators who fail to act may also face liability for a tenant's reasonable substitute housing costs, either through direct reimbursement or as a deduction from future rent payments.

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.220 gives tenants in manufactured home or recreational vehicle parks the right to seek a proportionate rent reduction when a landlord-caused condition makes their home unfit for occupancy for more than 48 hours — and importantly, tenants do not have to move out to pursue this remedy. Tenants may also choose to arrange substitute housing instead and seek reimbursement from the landlord or deduct those costs from future rent. Tenants who believe this provision applies to their situation may consider documenting the unfit conditions, reviewing their lease, contacting a local tenant-rights organization, or exploring whether a complaint can be filed with a relevant Nevada housing authority.
