Answer:

In Nevada, if you receive an eviction notice due to non-payment, you typically have five days to either pay the rent or move out. If you do not vacate, the landlord can file for an unlawful detainer in court, which will involve a hearing. The time it takes to get a hearing can vary based on local court schedules. During the hearing, you must provide a valid reason to avoid eviction; inability to pay rent is not considered a valid excuse. If the court issues an eviction order, you will receive a few additional days to leave. After that deadline, the landlord can enlist a sheriff to physically remove you and your belongings.

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.
