Nevada AB218A revises landlord-tenant laws to mandate rent payment methods, restrict fees, and allow tenant lawsuits for violations.
Nevada AB218A amends landlord-tenant laws by requiring landlords to provide at least one rent payment method without fees or bank account information. It prohibits landlords from charging tenants fees for using internet payment portals that exceed the operator's fees. The bill mandates written rental agreements to separately identify internet payment fees. Tenants can sue for violations, with courts awarding damages, equitable relief, and statutory damages. The absence of a written agreement presumes no occupancy restrictions, free maintenance, and no partial or late payment charges.
