Nevada Rent Increase Notice 2026: 60 Days, 30 Days for Short Periodic Tenancies
Nevada law requires written notice at least 60 days before the first increased rental payment, or 30 days for a periodic tenancy of less than one month. Learn what the rule means and what to check before a rent increase.
The short answer
Nevada Revised Statutes section 118A.300 says a landlord may not increase rent unless the tenant is served written notice at least 60 days before the first increased rental payment.
For a periodic tenancy of less than one month, the statute uses a shorter 30-day notice period. Nevada does not use one general statewide percentage cap for every ordinary private residential rent increase, so the lease and other protections still matter.
When 60 days applies
The ordinary statutory rule is 60 days' written notice before the first rental payment at the increased amount. The notice should clearly advise the tenant of the increase and should be timed from the first increased payment rather than treated as a generic calendar reminder.
A landlord should also review the fixed-term lease before attempting an increase because a lease can control the rental amount during its term.
When 30 days applies
Nevada's 30-day period applies to a periodic tenancy of less than one month. That distinction matters for weekly or other short-period arrangements.
Do not use the 30-day number for an ordinary monthly tenancy just because a generic internet result mentions Nevada notice requirements.
What to verify before an increase
Identify the tenancy type, current rent, proposed rent, first payment date at the new amount, and the date the written notice will be served. Review the lease and any subsidized-housing, local or anti-retaliation rules that may apply.
Keep a copy of the notice and proof of service with the rent ledger and lease records.
