Roach Infestation Tenant Rights
Summary
In Nevada, landlords are responsible for maintaining habitable living conditions, including addressing pest infestations. Tenants should document all communications with landlords regarding pest issues and request pest control in writing. If the landlord remains unresponsive, tenants can contact local tenant advocacy groups or consider legal action for breach of contract. Tenants may legally break a lease if habitability issues are not resolved within a reasonable time, typically 14 days. Self-representation in such disputes is possible, but consulting legal professionals or tenant advocacy groups is advisable for guidance.Full Conversation
