NV AB283

Repeals and replaces Nevada's summary eviction procedures for non-commercial tenants who default on rent or commit unlawful detainer, shifting the filing burden so landlords must file the affidavit of complaint first rather than requiring tenants to file an affidavit to contest eviction before the landlord makes any court filing.

Requires landlords to serve tenants with a 7 judicial day notice to pay rent or surrender premises, then file an affidavit of complaint within 30 calendar days, serve the tenant within 21 calendar days, and file proof of service within 30 calendar days of filing.

Gives tenants 7 judicial days after service to file a written answer; if no answer is filed, courts may issue a summary removal order without a hearing; if an answer is filed, a hearing must be held.

Removes COVID-19 emergency-specific provisions for automatic sealing of eviction case files and expands automatic sealing to apply when cases are dismissed, denied, or when landlords fail to file required documents within 30 days of a tenant's affidavit.

Applies to summary eviction actions accruing on or after October 1, 2025, and excludes commercial tenants, mobile home park lot tenants, and federal/state/tribal workers during government shutdowns.
