About this page

Nevada rent late fee law

Nevada, NRS 118A.210(4): the late fee has to be reasonable and provided for in the rental agreement. It can be at most 5% of the periodic rent, it cannot be imposed before 3 calendar days have passed since the due date when the tenancy runs longer than week to week, and a fee charged earlier does not lift the cap.

4. A landlord may charge a reasonable late fee for the late payment of rent as set forth in the rental agreement, but: (a) In a tenancy that is longer than week to week, no late fee may be charged or imposed until at least 3 calendar days after the date that rent is due; (b) Such a late fee must not exceed 5 percent of the amount of the periodic rent; and (c) The maximum amount of the late fee must not be increased based upon a late fee that was previously imposed.

Before you send the late rent notice: it is a reminder letter about overdue rent and a late charge, not an eviction notice. A notice to pay rent or quit is a separate document, and Nevada has its own rules for it. Nothing on this page is legal advice.

What Nevada law says about invoice interest

[...] interest must be allowed at a rate equal to the prime rate at the largest bank in Nevada [...] plus 2 percent, upon all money from the time it becomes due [...] parties may agree for the payment of any rate of interest on money due or to become due on any contract [...]
— Nev. Rev. Stat. §§ 99.040(1), 99.050(1) (NRS Chapter 99, Rev. 4/15/2026--2025). Read it at the official source · row verified 2026-08-19.

No general usury cap; parties to a written contract may agree to any rate. The only ceiling (36% APR) applies solely to military consumer credit, not B2B.
