For Property Managers

Under NRS § 118A.347, when a tenant or cotenant submits a written notice to terminate a lease based on domestic violence, that notice must be accompanied by an affidavit in the form prescribed by this section. Compliant operators generally review the submitted affidavit to confirm it includes both the tenant's signed statement under penalty of perjury and the verification signature of a qualified third party as defined in NRS 118A.345. Operators generally do not demand additional documentation beyond what this statutory form requires, and they treat the submitted information with appropriate confidentiality.

For Tenants

NRS § 118A.347 sets out the specific affidavit form that tenants or cotenants may use when exercising the right to terminate a lease due to domestic violence under NRS 118A.345. To use this process, a tenant generally completes the prescribed form—describing the incident(s), dates, times, and locations—and has it verified by a qualified third party such as a law enforcement officer, domestic violence advocate, or licensed health or legal professional. Tenants who believe their rights under this provision have not been respected may consider contacting a local tenant-rights organization, a domestic violence advocacy group, or a legal aid office for general information about available options.
