NRS 118A.440 Failure of tenant to perform basic obligations: Remedial work by
landlord may be charged to tenant. If
the tenant’s failure to perform basic obligations under this chapter can be
remedied by repair, replacement of a damaged item or cleaning, and the tenant
fails to use his or her best efforts to comply within 14 days after written
notice by the landlord specifying the breach and requesting that the tenant
remedy it within that period of time or more promptly if conditions require in
case of emergency, the landlord may enter the dwelling unit and cause the work
to be done in a workmanlike manner and submit the itemized bill for the actual
and reasonable cost, or the fair and reasonable value of the work. The itemized
bill must be paid as rent on the next date periodic rent is due, or if the
rental agreement has terminated, may be submitted to the tenant for immediate
payment or deducted from the security deposit.
