Rather than letting that spare room collect dust, make it work: rent it out to help pay your mortgage with a room rental agreement. In Nevada this income helps with steep energy costs and tourism‑driven housing demand. Some save up to renovate or add luxuries. Here’s all you need to know about Nevada room rental agreements.

Types of Room Rental Agreements
- Room rental agreement: A legally binding contract between a live-in landlord and a tenant outlining the terms and conditions of renting the room.
- Roommate agreement: An agreement, typically non-legally binding, between co-tenants that guides the responsibilities of each party.
Breaching Contract
Failure to pay: Nevada landlords can send a 4-day Notice to Pay or Quit once the grace period expires and rent is considered late (NRS § 40.253(b)).
Lease violations: For lease violations, Nevada landlords can issue a 5-day Notice to Cure or Quit (NRS § 40.2516).
Lease abandonment: If a tenant leaves the property, the landlord can send a written notice to the tenant stating that they believe the unit has been abandoned. If the tenant doesn’t respond within 5 days, the landlord can terminate the lease agreement. The tenant could then be responsible for all missed rent and potentially other penalties (NRS § 118.195).
Self-help evictions: Landlords can never evict a tenant on their own by changing the locks or turning off utilities. Self-help evictions are illegal, and landlords should always follow proper eviction procedures.
Landlord Room Access Laws
Immediate access: If there is an emergency, landlords can immediately enter the tenant’s room without consent or anyone present (NRS § 118A.330(2-3)).
Landlord harassment: If a landlord repeatedly enters the tenant’s unit without proper notice, that could be considered landlord harassment. Tenants may have the opportunity to acquire a court order to stop it from happening again, recover the cost of damages through a lawsuit, or potentially cancel the lease (NRS § 118A.500).
Advance notice: Landlords must provide tenants with at least 24 hours’ notice before entering the room, and the entry must be within normal business hours, unless otherwise approved by the tenant (NRS § 118A.330(3)).
