Baker Law Group, PLLC represents property owners at every stage of a landlord-tenant matter, from preventative lease drafting through contested litigation in Clark County courts.
Legal Matters Our Las Vegas Landlord Attorney Handles
A Las Vegas landlord lawyer at Baker Law Group, PLLC represents property owners across the full range of landlord-tenant matters in Clark County. Our landlord law practice covers:
Evictions
Nevada’s eviction process requires precise notice delivery, specific waiting periods, and correct court filings in Clark County Justice Court. The type of eviction determines which notice applies. A 7-day pay or quit notice applies to non-payment of rent. A 3-day notice applies to lease violations. A 30-day notice applies to no-cause termination in most month-to-month tenancies. Baker Law Group, PLLC prepares the correct notice for your situation, handles all court filings, and represents you at the eviction hearing to remove non-compliant tenants as quickly as Nevada law allows.
Breach of Lease
When a tenant violates the terms of a lease through property damage, unauthorized occupants, illegal activity, or failure to maintain the unit, Baker Law Group, PLLC advises on the appropriate enforcement steps. Depending on the severity of the breach, remedies range from cure notices through eviction proceedings and civil claims for damages in Clark County courts.
Habitability Disputes
Nevada law requires landlords to maintain rental properties in a habitable condition. When a tenant raises a habitability claim, the response must be prompt and well-documented. Baker Law Group, PLLC assists Las Vegas landlords in responding to those complaints, documenting repairs and maintenance, and defending against unfounded claims in Clark County courts.
Rent and Repair Demand Letters
Before formal legal action, a properly drafted demand letter can resolve a dispute efficiently and create a clear record for any subsequent court proceedings. Baker Law Group, PLLC drafts demand letters for unpaid rent, property damage, lease violations, and repair obligations that comply with Nevada law and position your case for litigation if the matter escalates.
Lease Drafting and Review
A well-drafted lease is the foundation of every landlord-tenant relationship. Baker Law Group, PLLC drafts and reviews residential and commercial lease agreements that comply with Nevada law, clearly define tenant obligations, address security deposit terms, specify maintenance responsibilities, and include enforceable provisions for the situations Las Vegas property owners encounter most frequently.
What Las Vegas Property Owners Need to Know About Landlord-Tenant Law
Nevada’s landlord-tenant framework is governed by the Nevada Revised Statutes, Chapter 118A for residential tenancies and Chapter 118B for manufactured housing. These statutes define the rights and obligations of landlords in Clark County and establish the specific procedures that must be followed for notices, evictions, security deposits, and lease terminations.
Key Nevada landlord-tenant rules Las Vegas property owners should understand:
Nevada does not impose rent control at the state level, meaning landlords may increase rent with proper written notice. For month-to-month tenancies, 30 days written notice is required before a rent increase takes effect.
Nevada law limits the amount landlords may collect as a security deposit and sets strict rules for how deposits must be held and returned. Landlords must return the deposit or provide an itemized written accounting within 30 days of the tenant vacating the property.
Nevada allows landlords to enter a rental unit for inspections, repairs, or showings with 24 hours advance written notice to the tenant, except in emergencies.
Self-help evictions are prohibited under Nevada law and can expose landlords to significant civil liability. Self-help evictions include changing locks, removing tenant belongings, or shutting off utilities to force a tenant out. The eviction process must go through Clark County Justice Court.
Baker Law Group, PLLC advises Las Vegas property owners on Nevada landlord-tenant law requirements and ensures every action taken complies with the statutes that govern Clark County rental properties.
The Eviction Process in Clark County
Nevada evictions follow a specific multi-step process that must be completed correctly to be legally valid. Baker Law Group, PLLC handles every step on behalf of Las Vegas landlords:
Step 1: Serve the correct notice.
The type of notice depends on the reason for eviction. Non-payment of rent requires a 7-day notice to pay or quit. Curable lease violations require a 3-day notice to cure or quit. Incurable violations require a 3-day unconditional quit notice. No-cause terminations for month-to-month tenancies require 30 days notice in most circumstances.
Step 2: File the eviction complaint.
If the tenant fails to comply with the notice, Baker Law Group, PLLC files an unlawful detainer complaint with Clark County Justice Court and serves the tenant with the summons and complaint.
Step 3: Attend the court hearing.
Both parties appear before a Clark County Justice Court judge. Baker Law Group, PLLC represents your interests at the hearing and presents the evidence needed to obtain a judgment for possession.
Step 4: Obtain and enforce the order.
If the judgment is granted, Baker Law Group, PLLC obtains the order for removal and coordinates with the Clark County constable to enforce it if the tenant does not vacate voluntarily.
