A Nevada Lease Termination Letter | 30-Day Notice satisfies the state’s statutory requirements for terminating at-will tenancies, provided the date the notice has been received is thirty days before the desired termination date. This is an important consideration that should be afforded in any at-will tenancy.
Thirty days’ notice is required for landlords who send notice and thirty days for tenants who decide to cancel.
Both parties benefit from this requirement in that a Tenant will need some time to find a new residence and a Landlord would need some time to seek a replacement. In both cases, this is a significant change in one’s income or lifestyle. As a general rule of thumb, the more notice given before the termination of such tenancies the less likely the remaining party would face disastrous consequences for losing the lease agreement. This is a positive way to end a landlord-tenant relationship which is generally favored.
