Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.100
“Landlord” defined.
Operative Text
“Landlord” means a person who provides a dwelling unit for occupancy by another pursuant to a rental agreement.
Under Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.100, the term 'landlord' is defined in Nevada's residential landlord-tenant law as any person who makes a dwelling unit available for another person's occupancy through a rental agreement. This definition establishes who is subject to the rights, duties, and obligations set out elsewhere in Chapter 118A. The definition is intentionally broad, covering individual property owners, property management companies, and other entities that rent out housing.

Property owners and managers operating in Nevada should be aware that Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.100 defines 'landlord' as any person providing a dwelling unit for occupancy under a rental agreement, meaning this definition applies regardless of whether the provider is an individual, a business entity, or an agent acting on behalf of an owner. Operators who meet this definition are subject to all the protections and obligations established throughout Chapter 118A. Compliant operators generally ensure their rental practices align with the full scope of Chapter 118A's requirements from the moment a rental agreement is in place.

Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118A § 118A.100 establishes that anyone who provides a dwelling unit for occupancy under a rental agreement qualifies as a 'landlord' under Nevada law, which means the protections in Chapter 118A can apply even when the housing provider is not a traditional property owner. Tenants who are uncertain whether their housing provider qualifies as a landlord under this definition may find it useful to review Chapter 118A or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with Nevada law. Understanding who qualifies as a landlord can be relevant when determining which rights and remedies are available under the statute.
