Establishment of program; conditions and limitations; adoption of regulations.
Operative Text
1. The Division may establish a program for the reporting of rental payments to a credit reporting agency. Any such program must be offered at no cost to a landlord or tenant. 2. The Division may not require any landlord or tenant to participate in such a program. A landlord shall not require any tenant to participate in the program or subject a tenant to any penalty or consequence for not participating in the program. 3. The Division may: (a) Establish requirements for any landlord or tenant to voluntarily participate in the program, including, without limitation, any safeguard necessary to ensure that participation in the program is voluntary and that tenants are not subject to any adverse action for participating or not participating in the program. (b) Provide guidelines for the use of an independent third-party vendor to manage the collection and reporting of rental payments. The Division shall maintain and publish a list of third-party vendors that are approved by the Division to manage the reporting of rental payments pursuant to the program. 4. The Division may adopt any regulations necessary to carry out the provisions of this section, including, without limitation: (a) Criteria for approving an independent third-party vendor to manage the collection and reporting of rental payments; (b) Requirements for tenants to be notified and provide proper consent to participate in the program; and (c) Procedures for resolving any dispute relating to the reporting of rental payments pursuant to the program.
Under Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.265, Nevada's Division of Housing may create a voluntary program that reports tenants' rental payment history to credit bureaus, and any such program must be free to both landlords and tenants. Neither landlords nor tenants can be compelled to join, and a landlord is prohibited from penalizing a tenant for declining to participate. The Division is authorized to approve third-party vendors to manage the reporting process and to adopt regulations covering consent, dispute resolution, and vendor criteria.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.265 makes clear that participation in any Division-established rent-reporting program is entirely voluntary for landlords. Compliant operators do not condition tenancy, impose fees, or take any adverse action against a tenant based on whether that tenant chooses to participate or opt out of the program. Landlords who do choose to participate would work only with vendors appearing on the Division's published approved-vendor list.

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.265 gives tenants the right to decide for themselves whether to have their rental payments reported to a credit agency — no landlord may require participation or retaliate against a tenant who declines. The program, if established by the Division, must be offered at no cost, and tenants must receive proper notice and provide consent before any reporting begins. Tenants who believe a landlord has improperly penalized them for their participation decision may consider contacting the Nevada Division of Housing or a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
