Rule 6.2 . Summary evictions.

(a) A surrender notice will be unenforceable if an eviction notice pursuant to NRS 40.254 (1) is not served within 30 calendar days after the period to comply with the surrender notice expires, and the landlord will be required to have a new surrender notice served, except when a tenant has been given an additional 30 calendar days pursuant to NRS 40.251 (2). (b) An eviction notice will be unenforceable if a complaint is not filed within 45 calendar days after the expiration of the eviction notice period, and the landlord will be required to have a new eviction notice served, as well as any prior surrender notice. (c) If a tenant has filed an untimely answer contesting an eviction notice, the court will not consider it. (d) If a tenant has filed a timely answer contesting an eviction notice, the court will not schedule a hearing on the summary eviction until the complaint is filed with the court. If no complaint is filed, the case will be administratively closed. (e) If the tenant has filed a timely answer contesting an eviction notice, and the landlord has filed a timely complaint pursuant to subsection (b), a hearing on the summary eviction will be held no sooner than 14 calendar days and no later than 21 calendar days after the filing of the complaint, unless the court otherwise finds good cause.

(B) An eviction notice must advise the tenant that the Las Vegas Justice Court (or some similar specific reference) has jurisdiction over the matter. An eviction notice that merely refers to “the justice of the peace,” or “Clark County Courthouse,” or some other nonspecific designation is not valid. (C) An eviction notice must advise as to the availability of electronic filing of the answer and include the web address for access. (D) An eviction notice must list the tenant’s name in the order of first name and last name. (2) Tenant’s answer.

A tenant’s answer must include an email address for the tenant, if the tenant has an email address. (3) Landlord’s complaint. All landlords must use the complaint for summary eviction form approved by the court and made available to the public on the Civil Law Self Help Center website at civillawselfhelpcenter.org. A landlord’s complaint must include an email address for the landlord, if the landlord has an email address. (A) A landlord complaint must be filed in the following order: landlord complaint, eviction notice, proof of service of the eviction notice, lease (if applicable), and any other supporting documents. (B) The court may strike the landlord’s complaint as nonconforming with this rule. (g) If a landlord has had more than one eviction notice served to the tenant within 1 rental period, and the tenant has filed a timely answer contesting a notice with respect to any of those notices, the court may consolidate for hearing all pending notices and answers. (h) Unless otherwise ordered by the court, an order for summary eviction that has not been executed by the constable will expire 30 days after the order is filed. (i) If a summary eviction case is sealed, no further filings will be accepted in that case. (j) Use of surrender or eviction notices other than those on forms approved by the court may result in dismissal of the case. (k) A tenant’s answer to a summary eviction that is not on the court-approved form may be stricken as nonconforming with this rule. (l) A landlord’s complaint for summary eviction that is not on the court-approved form may be stricken as nonconforming with this rule. (m) If the tenant has filed a timely answer contesting the eviction notice, the landlord must file the complaint into the same case as the tenant has filed the answer. Failure to file the complaint into the same case as the tenant answer will result in the complaint being stricken as nonconforming with this rule. The filing fee will not be refunded. The case will be closed and sealed.
