1. A reasonable assessment upon any condominium made in accordance with a recorded declaration of restrictions permitted by NRS 117.060 shall be a debt of the owner thereof at the time the assessment is made.

Such lien shall be prior to all other liens recorded subsequent to the recordation of the notice of assessment except that the declaration of restrictions may provide for the subordination thereof to any other liens and encumbrances.

2023 Nevada Revised Statutes › Chapter 118 - Discrimination in Housing; Landlord and Tenant › NRS 118.175 - Liability of tenant.

If a tenant of real property abandons the property, the landlord shall make reasonable efforts to rent it at a fair rental. If the landlord rents the property for a term beginning before the expiration of the rental agreement pursuant to its terms or if, despite the landlord’s reasonable efforts, the landlord is unable to rent the property before the rental agreement is otherwise terminated, the former tenant is liable for any actual damages of the landlord which may result from the abandonment. If the landlord fails to make reasonable efforts to rent the property at a fair rental, the former tenant is liable for any actual damages of the landlord occurring before the landlord had reason to believe that the property was abandoned. If the tenancy is from month to month or week to week, the term of the rental agreement for this purpose is deemed to be a month or a week, as the case may be.

1. The tenant provides the landlord with notice of the tenant’s intention to abandon the property, and the landlord accepts the surrender of the property;
2. The landlord rents the property to another tenant;
3. The property is deemed to be abandoned pursuant to NRS 118.195;

2023 Nevada Revised Statutes › Chapter 118 - Discrimination in Housing; Landlord and Tenant › NRS 118.195 - Notice to tenant of landlord’s belief that property has been abandoned; property deemed abandoned unless disputed by tenant.

1. If a landlord of real property reasonably believes that his or her tenant has abandoned the property, and the tenant is in default in the payment of rent, the landlord may serve the tenant with a written notice of the landlord’s belief that the property has been abandoned. If the tenant fails, within 5 days after service of the notice by the landlord, to:
(a) Pay the rent due; and
(b) Provide the landlord with a written notice:
(1) Stating the tenant’s intention not to abandon the property; and
(2) Setting forth an address at which the tenant may be served with legal process,
the property shall be deemed abandoned by the tenant and the rental agreement shall be deemed terminated. The property shall not be deemed abandoned if the tenant pays the rent due and provides the written notice within the prescribed time.
2. Real property shall not be deemed abandoned pursuant to this section if the tenant proves that at the time the landlord served notice:
(a) The tenant was not in default in the payment of rent; or
(b) It was not reasonable for the landlord to believe that the tenant had abandoned the real property. The fact that the landlord knew that the tenant left personal property on the real property does not, of itself, justify a finding that the landlord did not reasonably believe that the tenant had abandoned the real property.
3. The provisions of this section do not preclude a landlord or tenant from otherwise proving that real property has been abandoned.
