Carson City, Nev., Code §§ 17.17.060–17.17.110 (2026) § 17.17.090
1. This section applies only to conversions. A developer of a condominium conversion project shall certify in writing to the planning division that the requirements of this section have been completed within 60 days following the 120-day notice period described herein.
2. A developer of a condominium conversion project shall serve the notice of intent-to-sell not less than 120 days before requiring the affected tenant(s) to vacate. Notice of intent-to-sell shall not be given earlier than 30 days following approval of a tentative subdivision or parcel map. The first day of the 120-day period shall be the post-marked date of the notice of intent-to-sell mailed to the tenant by certified mail.
3. A developer of a conversion condominium project shall post a general notice of intent-to-sell in a conspicuous place on the property that is normally frequented by the affected tenants not less than 120 days before the affected tenants are required to vacate.
4. A developer may terminate a tenancy for cause as defined by NRS 118A.060, at any time within the 120-day notice period.
5. When, pursuant to NRS 40, a developer has terminated apartment tenancy en masse for any condominium conversion project, building or project phase, the developer is barred from applying for a special use permit for condominium conversion for that project, building or phase for a period of not less than 180 days from the termination period threshold described in Section 17.17.030 (8).
6. Any tenant with more than 30 days remaining on a lease who receives a notice of an intent-to-sell shall, at any time after receipt of such notice, have the right to terminate such lease with 30 days written notice to the developer. Such termination shall be without penalty or other termination charge to the tenant.
7. A developer shall not increase the rents or fees payable by a tenant at any time during the 120-day period; except:
a. A developer may increase the rent of multi-unit rental housing when the rent of such housing includes utilities and the utility costs are increased by the utility provider, but the increase in rent shall be no greater than the proportionate increase in utility rates; and/or:
b. A developer may increase the rent of multi-unit rental housing when property taxes are increased, but the increase in rent shall be no greater than the proportionate increase in taxes.
8. The developer shall have reasonable access to each rental unit during the 120-day period.
a. A tenant or subtenant residing in an apartment-to-condominium conversion project shall not unreasonably withhold consent to the developer to enter the unit in order to inspect the premises, make necessary or agreed repairs, supply necessary or agreed services, or show the unit to prospective or actual workmen or purchasers in accordance with subsection 8(c). The developer shall not abuse the right of access or use it to harass the tenant. Except in cases of emergency, or unless it is impracticable to do so, the developer shall give the tenant at least 24 hours notice of his intent and may enter only at reasonable times.
b. A developer shall not undertake remodeling for conversion of a unit while it is occupied by a tenant without the consent of the tenant. A developer shall not create any disruption in the common areas inconsistent with good building practices, nor unreasonably restrict access, nor interfere with the quiet use and enjoyment of the premises at times other than normal week-day business hours.
c. An occupied unit of an apartment-to-condominium conversion project may be shown by a developer to actual or prospective workmen or purchasers during the last 30 days of the 120-day period or during the last 30 days of a period of tenancy.

Plain English

Carson City Code §§ 17.17.060–17.17.110 § 17.17.090 governs the process by which a developer converting apartments to condominiums must notify existing tenants before requiring them to leave. The rule establishes a mandatory 120-day notice window, triggered by certified mail, during which rent increases are generally prohibited, tenant access rights are protected, and tenants holding leases may exit early without penalty. Developers must also post a visible general notice on the property and certify compliance in writing to the planning division within 60 days after the notice period ends.

For Property Managers

Under Carson City Code § 17.17.090, compliant conversion developers send the notice of intent-to-sell by certified mail no earlier than 30 days after tentative map approval and no fewer than 120 days before tenants must vacate, while simultaneously posting a conspicuous general notice on the property. Throughout the 120-day period, operators generally refrain from raising rents except for the narrowly defined utility-rate or property-tax pass-throughs described in the provision, and they avoid remodeling occupied units without tenant consent. Developers also provide at least 24 hours' advance notice before entering units, limit showings to the final 30 days of the period, and submit written certification of compliance to the planning division within 60 days after the notice period concludes.

For Tenants

Carson City Code § 17.17.090 gives tenants in apartment-to-condominium conversion projects a guaranteed 120-day notice period before they can be required to vacate, and it prohibits most rent increases during that window. Tenants who still have more than 30 days left on a lease when they receive the intent-to-sell notice may end their lease early with just 30 days' written notice and no penalty. Tenants who believe a developer has violated these protections — such as by raising rent improperly, entering without adequate notice, or disrupting quiet enjoyment — may wish to contact the Carson City Planning Division, consult a local tenant-rights organization, or seek independent legal guidance to understand available remedies.
