Return of evicted tenant to public housing.
Operative Text
If a person required to vacate public housing pursuant to NRS 315.031: 1. Committed the actual violation or violations for which the person is required to vacate public housing, a housing authority or a landlord, except as otherwise required by federal law or regulation, or as a condition to the receipt of federal money, shall not allow the person to again reside in public housing. 2. Did not commit the actual violation or violations for which the person is required to vacate public housing, a housing authority or a landlord may again allow that person to reside in public housing after he or she has vacated public housing for a reasonable period. HOUSING AUTHORITIES LAW OF 1947 General Provisions
Under Nev. Rev. Stat. §§ 315.007–315.071, when a person is required to leave public housing under NRS 315.031, the outcome depends on whether that person actually committed the underlying violation. Someone who did commit the violation is permanently barred from returning to public housing, unless federal law, regulation, or a condition of federal funding requires otherwise. Someone who did not personally commit the violation may be permitted to return after vacating for a reasonable period of time.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Nev. Rev. Stat. §§ 315.007–315.071 creates a distinction that housing authorities and landlords operating public housing must track carefully: when processing a potential readmission, operators generally document whether the displaced individual was the actual perpetrator of the violation that triggered the removal under NRS 315.031. For confirmed violators, compliant operators do not readmit them to public housing absent a controlling federal mandate or funding condition. For individuals who were removed without having personally committed the violation, operators typically establish and apply a reasonable waiting period before readmission is considered.

Nev. Rev. Stat. §§ 315.007–315.071 provides an important protection for public housing residents who were displaced due to someone else's violation under NRS 315.031 — they retain the right to seek readmission after a reasonable period. Tenants in this situation may want to document that they were not the person who committed the underlying violation, as that distinction is central to eligibility for return. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Nevada public housing rules can help individuals understand what records to gather and what processes a housing authority uses to evaluate readmission requests.
