Tenant Harassment And Privacy

Summary

In Nevada, unwanted tenant visits to your home can be considered harassment if they cause distress or fear. Harassment is defined under NRS 200.571 as behavior intended to alarm, annoy, or terrorize without lawful purpose. Privacy concerns can be addressed through restraining orders if you feel threatened. If a company is handling the eviction, direct communication with tenants is not necessary unless advised. Document all interactions and consult legal advice for tailored guidance.

I am currently filing for an eviction notice on them through a company, I have text messages that they spam me with and they never listen to me, rather they'd twist my words all the time
It sounds like you're dealing with a complex situation. In Nevada, harassment can be grounds for eviction if it impacts your safety or peace. Here are some points to consider:
- Document all interactions and communications.
- Consult your lease agreement for clauses on tenant behavior.
- Consider obtaining a restraining order if you feel threatened.
Have you considered seeking legal advice or assistance from a local attorney for further steps?
what are the specific laws that make this form of interaction a harassment or a violation of privacy laws

if i have a company helping me file a eviction, do i still have to directly talk to them
Case Rating: *
If you have a company handling the eviction process, direct communication with the tenants is not necessary unless instructed by the company. They should manage interactions on your behalf and guide you on any steps if required.
is it legal for a tenant to come to my house to talk then (even if I refuse) especially if I have a company helping me file an eviction notice
Case Rating: *
In Nevada, a tenant visiting your home despite refusal can be seen as harassment, especially if it causes distress or fear. If the eviction process is being handled by a company, communication should ideally be managed by them. Consider documenting interactions and seeking legal advice if needed.
