Status: reserved

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. 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.

2. A landlord or the landlord's agent who serves a notice to a tenant pursuant to paragraph (b) of subsection 1 shall attempt to deliver the notice in person in the manner set forth in subsection 2 of NRS 40.2542 . If the notice cannot be delivered in person, the landlord or the landlord's agent: (a) Shall post a copy of the notice in a conspicuous place on the premises and mail the notice by overnight mail; and (b) After the notice has been posted and mailed, may deliver the notice to the sheriff or constable for service in the manner set forth in subsection 1 of NRS 40.280 . The sheriff or constable shall not accept the notice for service unless it is accompanied by written evidence, signed by the tenant when the tenant took possession of the premises, that the landlord or the landlord's agent informed the tenant of the provisions of this section which set forth the lawful procedures for eviction from a short-term tenancy. Upon acceptance, the sheriff or constable shall serve the notice within 48 hours after the request for service was made by the landlord or the landlord's agent.

3. A notice served pursuant to subsection 1 or 2 must: (a) Identify the court that has jurisdiction over the matter; and (b) Advise the tenant: (1) Of the tenant's right to contest the matter by filing, within the time specified in subsection 1 for the payment of the rent or surrender of the premises, an affidavit with the court that has jurisdiction over the matter stating that the tenant has tendered payment or is not in default in the payment of the rent; (2) That if the court determines that 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, directing the sheriff or constable of the county to post the order in a conspicuous place on the premises not later than 24 hours after the order is received by the sheriff or constable. The sheriff or constable shall remove the tenant not earlier than 24 hours but not later than 36 hours after the posting of the order; and (3) That, pursuant to NRS 118A.390 , a tenant may seek relief if a landlord unlawfully removes the tenant from the premises or excludes the tenant by blocking or attempting to block the tenant's entry upon the premises or willfully interrupts or causes or permits the interruption of an essential service required by the rental agreement or chapter 118A of NRS .

4. If the tenant files such an affidavit at or before the time stated in the notice, the landlord or the landlord's agent, after receipt of a file-stamped copy of the affidavit which was filed, shall not provide for the nonadmittance of the tenant to the premises by locking or otherwise.

5. Upon noncompliance with the notice: (a) The landlord or the landlord's agent may apply by affidavit of complaint for eviction to the justice court of the township in which the dwelling, apartment, mobile home or recreational vehicle are located or to the district court of the county in which the dwelling, apartment, mobile home or recreational vehicle are located, whichever has jurisdiction over the matter. The court may thereupon issue an order directing the sheriff or constable of the county to post the order in a conspicuous place on the premises not later than 24 hours after the order is received by the sheriff or constable. The sheriff or constable shall remove the tenant not earlier than 24 hours but not later than 36 hours after the posting of the order. The affidavit must state or contain: (1) The date the tenancy commenced. (2) The amount of periodic rent reserved. (3) The amounts of any cleaning, security or rent deposits paid in advance, in excess of the first month's rent, by the tenant. (4) The date the rental payments became delinquent. (5) The length of time the tenant has remained in possession without paying rent. (6) The amount of rent claimed due and delinquent. (7) A statement that the written notice was served on the tenant in accordance with NRS 40.280 . (8) A copy of the written notice served on the tenant. (9) A copy of the signed written rental agreement, if any. (b) Except when the tenant has timely filed the affidavit described in subsection 3 and a file-stamped copy of it has been received by the landlord or the landlord's agent, and except when the landlord is prohibited pursuant to NRS 118A.480 , the landlord or the landlord's agent may, in a peaceable manner, provide for the nonadmittance of the tenant to the premises by locking or otherwise.

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 .

7. The tenant may, upon payment of the appropriate fees relating to the filing and service of a motion, file a motion with the court, on a form provided by the clerk of the court, to dispute the amount of the costs, if any, claimed by the landlord pursuant to NRS 118A.460 for the inventory, moving and storage of personal property left on the premises. The motion must be filed within 20 days after the summary order for removal of the tenant or the abandonment of the premises by the tenant, or within 20 days after: (a) The tenant has vacated or been removed from the premises; and (b) A copy of those charges has been requested by or provided to the tenant, whichever is later.

8. Upon the filing of a motion pursuant to subsection 7, the court shall schedule a hearing on the motion. The hearing must be held within 10 days after the filing of the motion. The court shall affix the date of the hearing to the motion and order a copy served upon the landlord by the sheriff, constable or other process server. At the hearing, the court may: (a) Determine the costs, if any, claimed by the landlord pursuant to NRS 118A.460 and any accumulating daily costs; and (b) Order the release of the tenant's property upon the payment of the charges determined to be due or if no charges are determined to be due.

9. The tenant may, upon payment of the appropriate fees relating to the filing and service of a motion, file a motion with the court on a form provided by the clerk of court to dispute the reasonableness of the actions of a landlord pursuant to subsection 3 of NRS 118A.460 . The motion must be filed within 5 days after the tenant has vacated or been removed from the premises. Upon the filing of a motion pursuant to this subsection, the court shall schedule a hearing on the motion. The hearing must be held within 5 days after the filing of the motion.

At the hearing, the court may: (a) Order the landlord to allow the retrieval of the tenant's essential personal effects at the date and time and for a period necessary for the retrieval, as determined by the court; and (b) Award damages in an amount not greater than $2,500.

10. In determining the amount of damages, if any, to be awarded under paragraph (b) of subsection 9, the court shall consider: (a) Whether the landlord acted in good faith; (b) The course of conduct between the landlord and the tenant; and (c) The degree of harm to the tenant caused by the landlord's conduct.

11. A landlord shall not refuse to accept rent from a tenant that is submitted after the landlord or the landlord's agent has served or had served a notice pursuant to subsection 1 if the refusal is based on the fact that the tenant has not paid collection fees, attorney's fees or other costs other than rent, a reasonable charge for late payments of rent or dishonored checks, or a security deposit. As used in this subsection, “ security deposit ” has the meaning ascribed to it in NRS 118A.240 .

12. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 118A.315 , this section does not apply to: (a) The tenant of a mobile home lot in a mobile home park or to the tenant of a recreational vehicle lot in an area of a mobile home park in this State other than an area designated as a recreational vehicle lot pursuant to the provisions of subsection 8 of NRS 40.215 .

Unlawful detainer: Supplemental remedy of summary eviction and exclusion of tenant of commercial premises
Status: reserved

1. In addition to the remedy provided in NRS 40.2512 and 40.290 to 40.420 , inclusive, when the tenant of any commercial premises 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, unless otherwise agreed in writing, may serve or have served a notice in writing, requiring in the alternative the payment of the rent or the surrender of the premises: (a) At or before noon of the fifth full 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. 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.

2. A landlord or the landlord's agent who serves a notice to a tenant pursuant to paragraph (b) of subsection 1 shall attempt to deliver a copy of the notice to the tenant personally, in the presence of a witness. If service is accomplished by the sheriff, constable or a person who is licensed as a process server pursuant to chapter 648 of NRS , the presence of a witness is not required. If the notice cannot be delivered in person, the landlord or the landlord's agent: (a) Shall post a copy of the notice in a conspicuous place on the premises and mail the notice by overnight mail; and (b) After the notice has been posted and mailed, may deliver the notice to the sheriff or constable for service in the manner set forth in subsection 1 of NRS 40.280 . The sheriff or constable shall not accept the notice for service unless it is accompanied by written evidence, signed by the tenant when the tenant took possession of the premises, that the landlord or the landlord's agent informed the tenant of the provisions of this section which set forth the lawful procedures for eviction from a short-term tenancy. Upon acceptance, the sheriff or constable shall serve the notice within 48 hours after the request for service was made by the landlord or the landlord's agent.

3. A notice served pursuant to subsection 1 or 2 must: (a) Identify the court that has jurisdiction over the matter; and (b) Advise the tenant: (1) Of the tenant's right to contest the matter by filing, within the time specified in subsection 1 for the payment of the rent or surrender of the premises, an affidavit with the court that has jurisdiction over the matter stating that the tenant has tendered payment or is not in default in the payment of the rent; and (2) That if the court determines that 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, directing the sheriff or constable of the county to remove the tenant within 24 hours after receipt of the order.

4. If the tenant files an affidavit pursuant to paragraph (b) of subsection 3 at or before the time stated in the notice, the landlord or the landlord's agent, after receipt of a file-stamped copy of the affidavit, shall not provide for the nonadmittance of the tenant to the premises by locking or otherwise.

5. Upon noncompliance of the tenant with a notice served pursuant to subsection 1 or 2: (a) The landlord or the landlord's agent may apply by affidavit of complaint for eviction to the justice court of the township in which the commercial premises is located or to the district court of the county in which the commercial premises is located, whichever has jurisdiction over the matter. The court may thereupon issue an order directing the sheriff or constable of the county to remove the tenant within 24 hours after receipt of the order. The affidavit must state or contain: (1) The date the tenancy commenced. (2) The amount of periodic rent reserved. (3) The amounts of any cleaning, security or rent deposits paid in advance, in excess of the first month's rent, by the tenant. (4) The date the rental payments became delinquent. (5) The length of time the tenant has remained in possession without paying rent. (6) The amount of rent claimed due and delinquent. (7) A statement that the written notice was served on the tenant pursuant to subsection 1 or 2 or in accordance with NRS 40.280 . (8) A copy of the written notice served on the tenant. (9) A copy of the signed written rental agreement, if any. (b) Except when the tenant has timely filed an affidavit described in paragraph (b) of subsection 3 and a file-stamped copy of the affidavit has been received by the landlord or the landlord's agent, the landlord or the landlord's agent may, in a peaceable manner, provide for the nonadmittance of the tenant to the premises by locking or otherwise.

6. Upon the filing by the tenant of an affidavit pursuant to paragraph (b) of subsection 3, regardless of the information contained in the affidavit and the filing by the landlord of an affidavit pursuant to paragraph (a) of 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 .

7. A tenant may, upon payment of the appropriate fees relating to the filing and service of a motion, file a motion with the court, on a form provided by the clerk of the court, to dispute the amount of the costs, if any, claimed by the landlord pursuant to NRS 118C.230 for the inventory, moving and storage of personal property left on the premises. The motion must be filed within 20 days after the summary order for removal of the tenant or the abandonment of the premises by the tenant, or within 20 days after: (a) The tenant has vacated or been removed from the premises; and (b) A copy of those charges has been requested by or provided to the tenant, whichever is later.

8. Upon the filing of a motion pursuant to subsection 7, the court shall schedule a hearing on the motion. The hearing must be held within 10 days after the filing of the motion. The court shall affix the date of the hearing to the motion and order a copy served upon the landlord by the sheriff, constable or other process server. At the hearing, the court may: (a) Determine the costs due, if any, claimed by the landlord pursuant to 118C.230 and any accumulating daily costs; and (b) Order the release of the tenant's property upon the payment of the costs determined to be due or if no charges are determined to be due.

9. A landlord shall not refuse to accept rent from a tenant that is submitted after the landlord or the landlord's agent has served or had served a notice pursuant to subsection 1 if the refusal is based on the fact that the tenant has not paid collection fees, attorney's fees or other costs other than rent, a reasonable charge for late payments of rent or dishonored checks.

or either of them, either in property or money, and is the debt now due? If not due, when is the debt to become due? State fully all particulars.

Answer:

Are you an employer of one or all of the defendants? If so, state the length of your pay period and the amount of disposable earnings, as defined in NRS 31.295 , that each defendant presently earns during a pay period. State the minimum amount of disposable earnings that is exempt from this garnishment, which is the federal minimum hourly wage prescribed by section 206(a)(1) of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, 29 U.S.C. §§ 201 et seq., in effect at the time the earnings are payable multiplied by 50 for each week of the pay period, after deducting any amount required by law to be withheld.

Calculate the garnishable amount as follows:

(Check one of the following) The employee is paid:

Answer:

What is the gross weekly salary or wage of the employee? The gross weekly salary or wage of an employee must be determined as follows:

1. Except as otherwise provided in numbers 2 and 3 below, by dividing the employee's gross earnings for the current calendar year as of the date the most recent writ of garnishment was issued by the total number of weeks the employee has worked in the current calendar year.

2. If the most recent writ of garnishment was issued at the beginning of the current calendar year before the employee received any earnings in the current calendar year, but the employee received earnings in the previous calendar year, by dividing the employee's gross earnings for the previous calendar year by the total number of weeks the employee worked in the previous calendar year.

3. If the employee has not been employed long enough to have been paid as of the date the most recent writ of garnishment was issued, or if the provisions of number 1 or 2 above do not otherwise apply, the gross weekly salary or wage of the employee is the anticipated gross weekly earnings of the employee as determined by his or her employer. For the purpose of determining the total number of weeks the employee has worked in the current calendar year or the total number of weeks the employee worked in the previous calendar year, as applicable, if the total number of weeks is not exact, the number must be rounded down if the number of days the employee was on the payroll of his or her employer in excess of a whole week is 3 days or less, and rounded up if the number of days the employee was on the payroll of his or her employer in excess of a whole week is 4 days or more. Answer: Did you have in your possession, in your charge or under your control, on the date the writ of garnishment was served upon you, any money, property, effects, goods, chattels, rights, credits or choses in action of the defendants, or either of them, or in which __________ is interested?

Answer: Do you know of any debts owing to the defendants, whether due or not due, or any money, property, effects, goods, chattels, rights, credits or choses in action, belonging to __________ or in which __________ is interested, and now in the possession or under the control of others? If so, state particulars. Answer: Are you a financial institution with a personal account held by one or all of the defendants? If so, state the account number and the amount of money in the account which is subject to garnishment. As set forth in NRS 21.105 , $2,000 or the entire amount in the account, whichever is less, is not subject to garnishment if the financial institution reasonably identifies that an electronic deposit of money has been made into the account within the immediately preceding 45 days which is exempt from execution, including, without limitation, payments of money described in NRS 21.105 or, if no such deposit has been made, $400 or the entire amount in the account, whichever is less, is not subject to garnishment, unless the garnishment is for the recovery of money owed for the support of any person. The amount which is not subject to garnishment does not apply to each account of the judgment debtor, but rather is an aggregate amount that is not subject to garnishment. Answer: State your correct name and address, or the name and address of your attorney upon whom written notice of further proceedings in this action may be served. Answer: _________________________________ Garnishee I (insert the name of the garnishee), declare under penalty of perjury that the answers to the foregoing interrogatories by me subscribed are true and correct. _________________________________ (Signature of garnishee)
