A Nevada 7-Day Notice to Quit (Non-Payment of Rent) is a document used to specifically notify a tenant of their failure to pay rent on the due date, and if rent is paid in full within seven (7) days, their tenancy will be terminated. The tenant has every right to defend themselves if they have reason to believe that they aren’t in default for the non-payment of rent. In such a case, the tenant must take proper steps by filing an affidavit with the Justice of the Peace of the Las Vegas Township no later than noon on the fifth day.
When delivering the notice personally to the tenant, the landlord by law must bring a witness. If the tenant is absent from their residence, leaving a copy with an adult will suffice at either their residence or workplace and a copy must be sent via mail. If all else fails, leaving a copy in a conspicuous place at the tenant’s residence and mailing a copy can work as well.
