NRS 40.2516 Unlawful detainer: Possession after failure to perform
conditions of lease; saving lease from forfeiture; recovery of possession
following unlawful detainer.
1. A tenant of real property, a dwelling
unit, a recreational vehicle or a mobile home other than a mobile home lot or a
recreational vehicle lot for a term less than life is guilty of an unlawful
detainer when the tenant continues in possession, in person or by subtenant,
after a neglect or failure to perform any condition or covenant of the lease or
agreement under which the real property, dwelling unit, recreational vehicle or
mobile home is held, other than those mentioned in NRS 40.250 to 40.254, inclusive, and after notice in
writing, requiring in the alternative the performance of the condition or
covenant or the surrender of the real property, dwelling unit, recreational
vehicle or mobile home, served upon the tenant, and, if there is a subtenant in
actual occupation of the premises or property, also upon the subtenant, remains
uncomplied with for 5 days after the service thereof. Within 5 days after the
service, the tenant, or any subtenant in actual occupation of the premises or
property, or any mortgagee of the term, or other person, interested in its
continuance, may perform the condition or covenant and thereby save the lease
from forfeiture; but if the covenants and conditions of the lease, violated by
the lessee, cannot afterwards be performed, then no notice need be given.
2. If a tenant is guilty of an unlawful
detainer pursuant to this section, the landlord may seek to recover possession
of the real property, dwelling unit, recreational vehicle or mobile home
pursuant to the provisions of NRS 40.254
or 40.290 to 40.420, inclusive.
