Ending a month-to-month tenancy in Nevada

The rule in Nevada

To end a month-to-month tenancy in Nevada, the notice period is 30 days, set by NRS 40.251(1)(a)(2). The words: “Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, for all other periodic tenancies, at least 30 days; or.” The section quoted addresses the landlord's notice.

Of the 29 states verified on this site, 3 require less notice and 4 require more, counting a month as 30 days for comparison; the median is 30 days. 21 others land on the same length, among them Arizona, Florida, Idaho and Illinois.

Worked date: a notice delivered on November 10, 2026 runs its 30 days on December 10, 2026, so the notice can name December 10, 2026 or a later date as the end of the tenancy, 30 days after delivery.

Given on the rent day itself, December 1, 2026, the same notice reaches its end on December 31, 2026, 30 days later. A period stated in days is the same length in every month.

Across the border, among neighbours with a verified rule: Arizona requires 30 days and Idaho requires one month.

A tenant who is 60 or older or has a physical or mental disability may ask to stay for an additional 30 days beyond the notice period (NRS 40.251(2)).

After the notice: the landlord then has 30 days to return the security deposit (deposit rules), so a tenancy ending on December 10, 2026 puts the deposit deadline at January 9, 2027; rent that falls due before the end date is still owed, and Nevada's late-fee rule is 5% of the periodic rent (late fees).

Giving or receiving notice

The statute sets the shortest period; a lease can add conditions such as a written form or a delivery method, and some cities add their own rules. The guide on ending a month-to-month tenancy compares how the verified states count the period.
