Answer:

The following are Nevada statutes:

NRS 118B.190 Notice; holding over.

 

 

1. A written agreement between a landlord and tenant for the rental or lease of a manufactured home lot in a manufactured home park in this state, or for the rental or lease of a lot for a recreational vehicle in an area of a manufactured home park in this state other than an area designated as a recreational vehicle lot pursuant to the provisions of subsection 6 of NRS 40.215, must not be terminated by the landlord except upon notice in writing to the tenant served in the manner provided in NRS 40.280:

 

 

(a) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (b), 5 days in advance if the termination is because the conduct of the tenant constitutes a nuisance as defined in NRS 40.140 or violates a state law or local ordinance.

 

 

(b) Three days in advance upon the issuance of temporary writ of restitution pursuant to NRS 40.300 on the grounds that a nuisance as defined in NRS 40.140 has occurred in the park by the act of a tenant or any guest, visitor or other member of a tenant’s household consisting of any of the following specific activities:

 

 

(1) Discharge of a weapon.

 

 

(2) Prostitution.

 

 

(3) Illegal drug manufacture or use.

 

 

(4) Child molestation or abuse.

 

 

(5) Property damage as a result of vandalism.

 

 

(6) Operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or any other controlled substance.

 

(7) Elder molestation or abuse.

 

 

(c) Except as otherwise provided in subsection 6, 10 days in advance if the termination is because of failure of the tenant to pay rent, utility charges or reasonable service fees.

 

 

(d) One hundred eighty days in advance if the termination is because of a change in the use of the land by the landlord pursuant to NRS 118B.180.

 

 

(e) Forty-five days in advance if the termination is for any other reason.

 

 

2. The landlord shall specify in the notice the reason for the termination of the agreement. The reason relied upon for the termination must be set forth with specific facts so that the date, place and circumstances concerning the reason for the termination can be determined. The termination must be in accordance with the provisions of NRS 118B.200 and reference alone to a provision of that section does not constitute sufficient specificity pursuant to this subsection.

 

 

3. The service of such a notice does not enhance the landlord’s right, if any, to enter the tenant’s manufactured home. Except in an emergency, the landlord shall not enter the manufactured home of the tenant served with such a notice without the tenant’s permission or a court order allowing the entry.

 

 

4. If a tenant remains in possession of the manufactured home lot after expiration of the term of the rental agreement, the tenancy is from week to week in the case of a tenant who pays weekly rent, and in all other cases the tenancy is from month to month. The tenant’s continued occupancy is on the same terms and conditions as were contained in the rental agreement unless specifically agreed otherwise in writing.

 

 

5. The landlord and tenant may agree to a specific date for termination of the agreement. If any provision of this chapter specifies a period of notice which is longer than the period of a particular tenancy, the required length of the period of notice is controlling.

 

 

6. Notwithstanding any provision of NRS 40.215 to 40.425, inclusive, if a tenant who is not a natural person has received three notices for nonpayment of rent in accordance with subsection 1, the landlord is not required to give the tenant a further 10-day notice in advance of termination if the termination is because of failure to pay rent, utility charges or reasonable service fees.
