Answer:
In Nevada, landlords must provide written notice before terminating a rental agreement. The notice period depends on the reason for eviction:
- Five days for nuisance or violation of laws.
- Three days for serious violations like drug use or violence.
- Ten days for failure to pay rent.
- Forty-five days for other reasons.
Since your son just signed a lease and paid rent, the eviction notice may not be valid unless there is a specific reason outlined in the notice. The landlord must specify the reason for eviction with details about the situation.
For assistance, your son can contact local legal aid organizations or housing authorities in Reno. They can provide guidance on tenant rights and potential resources for help.
