Answer:
To understand your situation, review your lease agreement for details on terminating your lease. Typically, giving notice does not exempt you from paying rent for the time you occupy the property. In Nevada, the law states:
- NRS 118A.190: Notice must be served properly, and tenants must be aware of it.
- NRS 118A.210: Rent is due at the agreed time without demand, and if no specific term is established, the tenancy is usually month-to-month.
- NRS 118A.320: Landlords can adopt rules regarding tenant conduct, but these must be fair and properly communicated.
In summary, your thirty-day notice does not eliminate your obligation to pay rent for the remaining time you occupy the property. If you have questions about specific amounts or the prorated rent, consider discussing this directly with your landlord or seeking legal advice.
