Nev. Rev. Stat. §§ 40.215–40.425 § 40.370
Verification of complaint and answer.
Operative Text
The complaint and answer must be verified.
Under Nev. Rev. Stat. §§ 40.215–40.425 § 40.370, both the complaint filed to initiate a summary eviction or unlawful detainer proceeding and the tenant's answer responding to it must be verified — meaning the party submitting each document must attest under penalty of perjury that its contents are true. This requirement applies to both sides of the dispute equally. Verification is a formal legal step that goes beyond simply signing a document.
Plain English — not legal advice.
When pursuing an eviction action under Nev. Rev. Stat. § 40.370, a compliant operator ensures that any complaint filed with the court includes a proper verification — a sworn statement affirming the truth of the allegations. Landlords and property managers typically work with the court clerk's office or review official court forms to confirm that the verification language meets Nevada's requirements. Submitting an unverified complaint may result in procedural defects that delay or complicate the proceeding.

Under Nev. Rev. Stat. § 40.370, a tenant's answer to an eviction complaint must also be verified, meaning it must include a sworn attestation that the contents are truthful. Tenants who receive an eviction complaint can review whether the landlord's complaint itself is properly verified, as a defect in verification may be raised as a procedural issue in the proceeding. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid offices can help tenants understand how the verification requirement applies to their answer and what options exist if the opposing party's filing appears defective.
