A notice to pay rent or quit—also known as an eviction notice or notice to vacate due to late rent—is a written letter demanding a tenant who is late paying rent (1) pay the rent by a certain date or (2) quit (leave or vacate) the premises.
In Nevada, a 'notice to pay rent or quit' is a legal document that a landlord can serve to a tenant who is behind on their rent. This notice informs the tenant that they must either pay the overdue rent by a specified deadline or vacate the rental property. The notice period in Nevada is typically five judicial days for the tenant to either pay the rent or move out before the landlord can file for eviction. If the tenant fails to comply with the notice, the landlord may proceed with the eviction process by filing a summary eviction with the court. It's important for both landlords and tenants to understand that this process is governed by Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) 40.2512 and that specific procedures must be followed to ensure the notice is legally valid. Tenants facing such a notice may wish to consult with an attorney to explore their legal options.
