Nevada month-to-month lease agreement
Written for Nevada law, checked September 24, 2026 General information, not legal advice
A month-to-month tenancy renews each month until the landlord or the tenant gives notice. Choose month-to-month as the lease type, or set a fixed-term lease to convert to month-to-month when its term ends.
Nevada rules that apply
Ending a month-to-month tenancy
To end a month-to-month or other periodic tenancy, give at least 30 days' written notice; for a week-to-week tenancy, at least 7 days. Your notice must tell the tenant about the extension rights for older or disabled tenants and for government workers during a shutdown. The lease may not require the tenant to give a different notice than you must give.
NRS 40.251(1)(b) NRS 118A.220(1)(e)
More detail (6)
- A tenant who is 60 or older or has a physical or mental disability may ask in writing, with proof, to stay 30 more days beyond the notice period. This does not apply to week-to-week tenancies or to a 5-day notice for a breach. If you refuse, the tenant may ask the court, and a tenant whose petition is denied still gets 5 more calendar days. NRS 40.251(2), (6)
- A federal, state or tribal worker, or a household member, may ask in writing, with proof, to stay from the start of a shutdown until 30 days after it ends, and you must allow it unless a court grants you relief. NRS 40.251(3), (4) NRS 118A.315
- Every notice ending a periodic tenancy must include a statement of those extension rights. NRS 40.251(5)
- For a dwelling, the unlawful detainer rule pairs the end of a lease term with the expiration of a notice of at least 30 days (7 for week to week), so give that notice before treating a tenant who stays past a fixed term as holding over. NRS 40.251(1)(b)(1)
- If you let a tenant stay after the lease ends, the tenancy becomes week to week (for weekly rent) or month to month, on the same terms unless agreed otherwise. NRS 118A.470
- Notices must be served as the eviction service rules require. NRS 118A.190(2) NRS 40.280
The lease sets 30 days' written notice (7 for week to week) for either side, states the 60-and-older, disability and shutdown extension rights, and says the tenant's notice matches the landlord's. Rentari's Nevada notice to vacate and non-renewal notice print the required statement.
Rent increases
Before raising the rent, serve the tenant a written notice at least 60 days before the first rent payment that goes up, or at least 30 days before it for any periodic tenancy shorter than one month, such as week to week. Nevada's landlord and tenant chapter sets no limit on the size of an increase.
More detail (2)
- A rent increase made in retaliation for a protected tenant action is barred, but an increase applied uniformly to all tenants is not retaliation. NRS 118A.510(1), (3)(d) See Retaliation on the Nevada page
- A landlord's rule or regulation is enforceable only if, among other conditions, it does not affect the tenant's obligation to pay rent or other charges. NRS 118A.320(1)(f)
The lease states the 60-day notice (30 days for a tenancy shorter than a month) and that the rent does not change during a fixed term unless the lease says so. Rentari's Nevada rent increase notice uses 60 days.
