Nevada 3 Day Notice To Vacate

Last Updated: January 24, 2024 by Roberto Valenzuela

Nevada 3 Day Notice To Vacate is a letter which complies with state legal requirements to begin eviction against a tenant for unlawful conduct, such as violating controlled substance laws. The tenant is not given an opportunity to take corrective action, and must move out within three (3) judicial days (i.e., not counting weekends or legal holidays) of receiving notice.

When To Use a Nevada 3 Day Notice To Vacate

A Nevada 3 Day Notice To Vacate begins the eviction process for the following tenant violations:

  • Causing substantial property damage
  • Creating a nuisance
  • Conducting an unlawful business on the premises
  • Violation of laws relating to controlled substances
  • Assignment (lease transfer) of the premises contrary to the covenants of the lease

Some types of Nevada lease termination notice may allow different reasons for termination, or different notice periods. This may also apply to an eviction notice issued because of a lease or legal violation.

How To Write a Nevada 3 Day Notice To Vacate

To help ensure the legal compliance of a Notice To Vacate:

  1. Use the full name of the receiving parties, and address of record, if known
  2. Specify the termination date of the lease or tenancy
  3. Specify the basis for terminating the tenancy, and indicate whether there is a request to pause eviction due to foreclosure
  4. Fill in the full address of the rental premises
  5. Provide updated/current address and phone number information
  6. Print name and sign the notice
  7. Complete the certificate of service by indicating the date and method of notice delivery, along with printed name and signature

It is easy to lose an otherwise justified legal action because of improper notice. Check carefully to ensure enough time after notice is delivered, not when it’s sent.

How To Serve a Nevada 3 Day Notice To Vacate

Nevada landlords may have a sheriff, constable, licensed process server, or agent for an attorney deliver a Notice To Vacate using any of these methods:

  1. Hand delivery to the other party
  2. Hand delivery to a person of suitable age on the property who can accept the notice on behalf of the other party, PLUS delivery by overnight mail
  3. Posting at a conspicuous place on the premises, such as the entry door, PLUS delivery by overnight mail

note
In almost all cases, notice is legally served when it is received by the other party, NOT when it’s sent. Check specified date of termination carefully to ensure compliance with the legal requirements for a notice period.
