Nevada Mobile Home Park Regulations

Summary

In Nevada, a mobile home park is defined under NRS 118B.017 as an area with two or more mobile homes on a rental basis. The presence of a managers office or common area is not required. For individual lots not classified as parks, standard landlord-tenant laws apply, such as NRS Chapter 118A for leases and NRS Chapter 40 for evictions. Summary eviction under NRS 40.253 involves a 5-day notice and potential court hearing, where a judge can issue a writ of restitution. After eviction, landlords must follow NRS 118A.460 for handling abandoned property. In Washoe County, a temporary restraining order can be sought to prevent property removal, and its crucial to present evidence of continued access to the property to the court.
