Answer:

Nevada allows for a 5 day pay or quit notice. So, as soon as you miss a payment, the landord can serve you with an eviction notice. You then have 5 days to pay or move.

If you don't leave, then the landlord goes to court for an unlawful detainer notice. This will require a hearing. How long that will take depends on local courts. At the hearing, unless you can show cause why you shouldn't be evicted (and inability to pay is not an excuse) the court will issue an eviction order giving you a few more days to vacate. At that deadline, the landlord can hire a sheriff to physically remove you and your belongings.

FAQs

When the marshal arrives to evict you, they will typically present the eviction order issued by the court. You will be given a short time to gather your belongings and leave the premises. If you do not comply, the marshal is authorized to physically remove you and your belongings from the property. It is important to ensure that you have made arrangements for your move before this point, as the marshal's role is to enforce the eviction order.
