Nevada AB396 revises housing laws, including requirements for accessory dwelling units and rental restrictions in common-interest communities.

Nevada AB396 mandates that governing bodies of counties with populations over 100,000 and cities with populations over 60,000 adopt ordinances allowing residential property owners to add accessory dwelling units. If these governing bodies fail to adopt such ordinances by January 1, 2026, accessory dwelling units are authorized on any residentially zoned parcel without restriction. The bill also revises rules for renting or leasing units in common-interest communities, prohibiting associations from requiring unit owners to secure approval for leasing and allowing waivers for economic hardship.
