Status: in_force

2. An injured person is not eligible for recovery from the account if: (a) The injured person is cohabitating with the licensee, is related to the licensee by marriage or by blood in the first or second degree of consanguinity, or is a personal representative of a person cohabitating with the licensee or related to the licensee by marriage or by blood in the first or second degree of consanguinity; (b) The injured person was associated in a business relationship with the licensee other than the contract at issue; (c) At the time of contracting with the residential contractor, the license of the residential contractor was suspended or revoked pursuant to NRS 624.300 ; (d) The injured person: (1) Applied for and obtained any building permit for the single-family residence at which the act or omission occurred and for which the injured person wishes to recover actual damages from the account; or (2) Constructed the residence as the owner-builder of the residence; (e) The claim submitted by the injured person for recovery from the account contains: (1) A false or misleading statement; or (2) A forged or altered receipt or other document which includes an improvement, upgrade or work that exceeds the scope of the contract at issue; (f) The injured person is a lien claimant who has not filed a lien in accordance with the provisions of NRS 108.221 to 108.246 , inclusive; or (g) The single-family residence at which the act or omission occurred and for which the injured person wishes to recover actual damages from the account was constructed, remodeled, repaired or improved with the intent of renting, leasing or selling the residence within 1 year after the date of completion of the construction, remodeling, repair or improvement. The offering of the residence for rent, lease or sale within 1 year after that date creates a rebuttable presumption that the construction, remodeling, repair or improvement was performed with the intent to rent, lease or sell the residence.

5. If the injured person has recovered a portion of his or her loss from sources other than the account, the Board shall deduct the amount recovered from the other sources from the amount payable upon the claim and direct the difference to be paid from the account.

6. To the extent of payments made from the account, the Board is subrogated to the rights of the injured person, including, without limitation, the right to collect from a surety bond or a cash bond. The Board and the Attorney General shall promptly enforce all subrogation claims.

7. The amount of recovery from the account based upon claims made against any single contractor must not exceed $750,000 or 20 percent of the account balance, as determined on the date the Board approves payment of all the claims, whichever is less.
