Download: PDF | Word
A Nevada 5 Day Notice To Terminate Tenancy terminates a tenancy at will (i.e., a situation without a rental agreement that exists by the landlord’s goodwill). The non-terminating party must receive notice at least five (5) days before the date of termination.
Nevada 7 Day Notice To Vacate
Download: PDF | Word
A Nevada 7 Day Notice To Vacate terminates a week-to-week lease, and situations without a written lease where the tenant pays rent weekly. The non-terminating party must receive notice at least seven (7) days before the date of termination.
Nevada 30 Day Notice To Vacate
A Nevada 30-Day Notice To Vacate terminates a rental agreement, including a month-to-month or year-to-year lease, as well as an expired lease or situations without a written lease where tenants pay rent monthly. The non-terminating party must receive notice at least thirty (30) calendar days before the date of termination.
A 30-Day Notice may also be used by tenants with disabilities, sixty (60) years of age or older, to get an additional thirty (30) calendar days to move out after the landlord provides notice to vacate. By default, however, fixed-term leases terminate on the last day of a lease term, without any notice required.
How To Write a Lease Termination Notice in Nevada
To ensure the legal compliance of a lease termination notice:
- Use the full name of the receiving party, and address of record, if known
- Specify the termination date of the lease or tenancy
- Fill in the full address of the rental premises
- Provide updated/current address and phone number information
- Print name and sign the notice
- 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 Calculate Expiration Date in Nevada
The “clock” for a lease termination notice starts “ticking” the day after the notice gets delivered (served). For example, to give at least 30 days of notice and terminate a tenancy as of June 30th, delivery of the termination letter must be no later than May 31st.
In most jurisdictions, if the last day of a notice period is a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the period continues to run until the end of the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.

All eviction notices must be “served” (delivered to the tenant) by a constable, sheriff, licensed process server, or agent of an attorney licensed in Nevada, in one of the three following ways:
- Serving the tenant personally, in the presence of a witness. (NRS 40.280(1)(a).)
- If the tenant is not at the rental property, leaving a copy with a person “of suitable age and discretion” (at least fourteen years old) AND mailing a copy to the tenant at the address of the rental property. (NRS 40.280(1)(b).) (If you use this method, you must get a “certificate of mailing” from a U.S. Post Office. It is not “certified” mail.)
- If a person of suitable age or discretion cannot be found at the rental property, posting a copy of the notice in a conspicuous place on the rental property AND mailing a copy to the tenant at the address of the rental property. (NRS 40.280(1)(c).)
The Nevada statute that governs service of eviction notices (NRS 40.280) allows service of a notice by method number 2 above (leaving the notice with a person of suitable age at the rental property and mailing a copy to the tenant) only if the tenant “is absent from his place of residence.” Method number 3 above (posting the notice on the rental property and mailing a copy to the tenant) is only permitted when “a person of suitable age or discretion cannot be found” at the rental property. Personal service of the notice to the tenant by method number 1 above is always permitted.

A tenant of real property or a mobile home for a term less than life is guilty of an unlawful detainer when the tenant continues in possession, in person or by subtenant, of the property or mobile home or any part thereof, after the expiration of the term for which it is let to the tenant. In all cases where real property is leased for a specified term or period, or by express or implied contract, whether written or parol, the tenancy terminates without notice at the expiration of the specified term or period.
