What are the grounds for eviction from a Nevada park?

They are listed in Nev. Rev. Stat. §118B.200, including failure to pay rent within 10 days of written notice, failure to correct a noncompliance with a law or valid park rule within a reasonable time after notice, conduct that annoys other tenants, violation of valid park rules after notice, a change in the use of the land, and conduct that is a nuisance or illegal.

Does a Nevada eviction notice have to give a reason?

Yes, with specifics. Under §118B.190(2), 'the landlord shall specify in the notice the reason for the termination,' set forth 'with specific facts so that the date, place and circumstances ... can be determined,' and 'reference alone to a provision of [§118B.200] does not constitute sufficient specificity.'

Q: How much eviction notice does Nevada require?

It depends on the reason. Under Nev. Rev. Stat. §118B.190, a tenancy may be terminated only on written notice: '5 days' for conduct that is a nuisance or violates a law; '10 days' for 'failure of the tenant to pay rent, utility charges or reasonable service fees'; '180 days' for a change in the use of the land; and '45 days ... if the termination is for any other reason.' This is general information, not advice about a specific case — consider consulting a licensed attorney in Nevada.

Nevada's NRS Chapter 118B limits eviction from a manufactured home park to listed grounds, with graduated notice and a requirement that the reason be stated with specific facts. The information below describes how the law generally works; anyone facing a specific notice should consider consulting a licensed attorney in Nevada.

What the statute says

Nev. Rev. Stat. §118B.190 sets the notice. A tenancy "must not be terminated by the landlord except upon notice in writing": "5 days in advance" if the conduct "constitutes a nuisance ... or violates a state law or local ordinance"; "10 days in advance ... because of failure of the tenant to pay rent, utility charges or reasonable service fees"; "180 days in advance ... because of a change in the use of the land"; and "45 days in advance if the termination is for any other reason." The landlord must state the reason "with specific facts," and bare reference to a statutory provision is not enough (subsection 2).

Section 118B.200 limits the grounds to, among others: nonpayment "within 10 days after written notice"; "failure of the tenant to correct any noncompliance with a law, ordinance or governmental regulation ... or a valid rule ... or to cure any violation of the rental agreement within a reasonable time after receiving written notification"; "conduct of the tenant ... which constitutes an annoyance to other tenants"; "violation of valid rules of conduct ... after written notice"; "a change in the use of the land"; and conduct that "constitutes a nuisance ... or which violates a state law or local ordinance."

How it works in general

A Nevada park must have a §118B.200 ground to evict and give the matching §118B.190 written notice — 10 days for nonpayment, 5 days for nuisance or law violations, 45 days for most other reasons, and a full 180 days for a change of the land's use. Several grounds (noncompliance with a law or rule) require written notice and a reasonable time or chance to cure first. The notice must state the specific facts behind the reason; citing a statute number alone is not enough. If the tenant stays after a valid termination, the landlord uses the court eviction process.

Common scenarios

General examples Nevada park residents commonly encounter:

A nonpayment notice arrives. It must give at least 10 days, and paying within that period addresses the ground (§§118B.190, 118B.200).
A park is being converted to another use. Residents are entitled to 180 days' notice (§118B.190(1)(d)).
A vague notice cites only a statute. The reason must be stated with specific facts (§118B.190(2)).

Other authorities that may apply

Chapter 118B sets the grounds and notice; service follows NRS 40.280, and the court eviction process follows NRS 40.215 to 40.425. A change of use also triggers the park-closure/conversion protections of NRS 118B.177 and 118B.180. Federal protections — the Fair Housing Act and the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act — can also apply.
