Landlord & Tenant Laws in Nevada.

A tenant should preserve move-out documentation and a mailing address because Nevada’s deposit-return rule requires an itemized accounting and timely return after the tenancy ends.

In Nevada, a landlord generally must return the security deposit within 30 days after the tenancy ends, together with an itemized accounting of any lawful deductions. Nevada also limits the security deposit to the equivalent of 3 months’ rent.

If a landlord wrongfully withholds a security deposit, Nevada law may allow the tenant to recover the money due and, in the right case, statutory damages.
