NRS 40.253 Unlawful detainer: Supplemental remedy of summary eviction and
exclusion of tenant for default in payment of rent.
1. Except as otherwise provided in
subsection 12, in addition to the remedy provided in NRS 40.2512 and 40.290 to 40.420,
inclusive, when the tenant of any dwelling, apartment, mobile home or
recreational vehicle with periodic rent reserved by the month or any shorter
period is in default in payment of the rent, the landlord or the landlord’s
agent may cause to be served a notice in writing, requiring in the alternative
the payment of the rent or the surrender of the premises:
(a) Before the close of business on the seventh
judicial day following the day of service; or
(b) If the landlord chooses not to proceed in the
manner set forth in paragraph (a) and the rent is reserved by a period of 1
week or less and the tenancy has not continued for more than 45 days, at or
before noon of the fourth full day following the day of service.
Ê As used in
this subsection, “day of service” means the day the landlord or the landlord’s
agent personally delivers the notice to the tenant. If personal service was not
so delivered, the “day of service” means the day the notice is delivered, after
posting and mailing pursuant to subsection 2, to the sheriff or constable for
service if the request for service is made before noon. If the request for
service by the sheriff or constable is made after noon, the “day of service”
shall be deemed to be the day next following the day that the request is made
for service by the sheriff or constable.
