Nev. Rev. Stat. §§ 315.007–315.071 § 315.007

1. The decision of a housing authority to
terminate a person’s housing assistance is a final decision for the purposes of
judicial review. A person aggrieved by such a final decision of the housing
authority is entitled to judicial review of the decision in the manner provided
in NRS 233B.130 to 233B.150, inclusive, for the review of
decisions of administrative agencies in contested cases.
2. If a person who seeks judicial review
of a final decision of a housing authority pursuant to subsection 1 retains
possession of the premises during the pendency of the action, the person shall
pay the rent and comply with all other provisions set forth in the underlying
contract for possession of the premises. If the person fails to pay such rent
or comply with the other provisions of the contract, the landlord may initiate
proceedings for eviction. If the person is evicted, the housing authority is
not required to issue a new voucher for housing assistance to the person unless
and until the person prevails in the action for judicial review.
