Nevada Month-to-Month Lease Agreement

Last Updated: May 22, 2025 by Roberto Valenzuela

A Nevada month-to-month rental agreement is a contract (not necessarily in writing) for a tenant to rent property from a landlord, one month at a time, in exchange for a fee (“rent”). The agreement renews monthly, until either party gives proper notice to end it.

Basics of a Nevada Month-to-Month Rental Agreement

In Nevada, a landlord and tenant create a month-to-month lease by agreeing to rent a property according to acceptable terms. Written agreements are clearer and more reliable in case of disagreement, but month-to-month oral (unwritten) leases are legal.

Parties under a month-to-month lease have full rights under Nevada landlord-tenant law. The tenant must use the property in a responsible way and pay rent on time. The landlord must ensure the tenant’s quiet enjoyment of the property. This includes keeping critical features of the property in good working condition.

The main difference between a month-to-month lease and a fixed-term lease is that month-to-month leases can be terminated (with proper notice) by either party, for any reason, without penalty. Landlords also can usually modify terms from one month to the next, again with proper notice.

Required Disclosures for Month-to-Month Rentals in Nevada

Nevada landlords may not rent a property out without making the following disclosures to a potential tenant, as relevant:

  • Landlord and Emergency Contact Disclosure – Nevada leases must give the name and address of the landlord or authorized agent, plus a phone number for an emergency contact located within 60 miles of the rental property.
  • Late Fee Disclosure – Nevada only enforces late fees which are disclosed and agreed in the lease.
  • Move-In Checklist – Landlords must provide tenants with a move-in checklist to take inventory of existing property damage before move-in. This helps ensure accurate deductions upon move-out.
  • Right To Display American Flag Notice – Nevada leases must disclose the tenant’s right to display a United States flag for personal use, on a pole, staff, or in a window.
  • Foreclosure Disclosure – Nevada leases must disclose pending foreclosures. Tenants have a right to know about the possibility of change in ownership and/or management.
  • Maintaining or Permitting Nuisance Notice – Nevada landlords must provide notice to tenants about the legal consequences of creating a nuisance on the rental property.
  • Lead-Based PaintLandlords must provide an EPA-approved disclosure and informational pamphlet to tenants renting any property built before 1978.

Required Notice To End a Month-to-Month Rental in Nevada

Nevada lets both the landlord or tenant end a month-to-month lease with at least 30 days of advance notice. Certain vulnerable or disabled tenants may have an extra 30 days to move out as a grace period. In general, it’s valid to end a month-to-month lease for any reason that isn’t landlord retaliation.

Nevada requires written notice to end a month-to-month lease. Mailed notice to the address of record is usually sufficient, but Nevada can have complex notice delivery requirements, including some situations which require a licensed process server or other officer.
