6.  Upon the filing by the tenant of the
affidavit permitted in subsection 3, regardless of the information contained in
the affidavit, and the filing by the landlord of the affidavit permitted by
subsection 5, the justice court or the district court shall hold a hearing,
after service of notice of the hearing upon the parties, to determine the
truthfulness and sufficiency of any affidavit or notice provided for in this
section. If the court determines that there is no legal defense as to the
alleged unlawful detainer and the tenant is guilty of an unlawful detainer, the
court may issue a summary order for removal of the tenant or an order providing
for the nonadmittance of the tenant. If the court determines that there is a
legal defense as to the alleged unlawful detainer, the court shall refuse to
grant either party any relief, and, except as otherwise provided in this
subsection, shall require that any further proceedings be conducted pursuant to
NRS 40.290 to 40.420, inclusive. The issuance of a
summary order for removal of the tenant does not preclude an action by the
tenant for any damages or other relief to which the tenant may be entitled. If
the alleged unlawful detainer was based upon subsection 5 of NRS 40.2514, the refusal by the court to
grant relief does not preclude the landlord thereafter from pursuing an action
for unlawful detainer in accordance with NRS
40.251.
