- 8 daysNot independently verified. Figure from the Eviction Research Network's state eviction timeframes dataset, as of 2026-07-13. We have not yet checked it against the statutes. It is a minimum estimate. No statute sets a court interval, so the dataset counts that stage as zero.
Seven judicial days is roughly 9 to 11 calendar days, because judicial days exclude weekends and court holidays. The 3-day late-fee grace period does not delay this notice. NRS 40.253(1) allows it once the tenant "is in default in payment of the rent." AB 283 (2025) would have changed summary eviction so the landlord files first. The Governor vetoed it on 2025-06-05, and it never took effect.
Not legal advice. This page reports what the state statute says as of the last-verified date. It does not describe how a particular court applies it, and it does not account for your lease, local ordinances, or the facts of your case. If you have received a notice or a court summons, contact a legal aid organization listed below.
Can I stop it by paying?
Before judgment: Yes. The notice must give the tenant the choice to pay the rent or move out within 7 judicial days. NRS 40.253(1) describes it as "requiring in the alternative the payment of the rent or the surrender of the premises."
After judgment: Not verified.

Where to get help
- Rental assistance: Clark County's Eviction Prevention and Fixed Income Rent Assistance program (formerly CHAP) has stopped taking new applications, according to a county notice from August 2025. Applications already in the queue are processed until funds run out. Since 2026-02-02, the Las Vegas Justice Court's Eviction Diversion Program has limited assistance to people aged 62 or older or receiving SSI. Both programs cover Clark County only.
- Free legal help
- Nevada has not enacted a right to a lawyer in eviction cases, statewide or for any city. Neither NRS chapter 40 nor chapter 118A provides appointed counsel.
