North Las Vegas Landlord-Tenant Rules
North Las Vegas adds local rules on top of Nevada landlord-tenant law. Here is what is different, with the city code or agency page behind each rule.
| Eviction diversion/assistance | Since February 2, 2026, Clark County's Eviction Diversion Program (EDP) has covered the North Las Vegas Justice Court. It is for tenants 62 or older, or tenants receiving SSI because of a disability, who face eviction for nonpayment of rent and file a tenant answer within the notice period. Eligible tenants and landlords get rental assistance while working with Clark County Social Services, and tenants are evaluated for longer-term housing solutions. Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada describes the diversion meeting as being for elderly or disabled tenants on a fixed income who received a rent increase in the last twelve months, with enrollment automatic when the required information is included in the answer: https://lacsn.org/practice-areas/consumer-rights-project/tenant-rights/stay-housed-clark-county Source: Official source |
