Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.240
Controversies may be submitted for arbitration.
Operative Text
The landlord and the tenant may agree that any controversy relating to any matter arising under this chapter or under a rental agreement may be submitted for arbitration.
Under Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.240, Nevada law permits landlords and tenants to mutually agree to resolve disputes through arbitration rather than through the court system. This applies to controversies arising under Chapter 118B or under the terms of a rental agreement. The provision is permissive, meaning arbitration is an available option when both parties consent, not a mandatory requirement imposed on either side.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.240 gives property owners and managers the option to include arbitration clauses in rental agreements or to reach a mutual arbitration agreement with a tenant when a dispute arises. Operators who choose this path typically ensure that any arbitration arrangement is clearly documented and agreed upon by both parties. Because the provision requires mutual consent, a landlord cannot unilaterally compel arbitration without the tenant's agreement.

Under Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.240, tenants have the right to agree—or decline—to submit a dispute to arbitration; neither party can force the other into the process. If a rental agreement contains an arbitration clause, tenants may want to review what controversies it covers and under what terms before signing. Tenant-rights organizations can help explain how arbitration compares to other dispute-resolution paths available under Chapter 118B.
