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.

Late rent notice builder

Before you send it: this builds a reminder letter about overdue rent and a late charge. It is 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.

Rent and invoices follow different laws — consumer debt is not covered

The Invoice tab, the rate card and the statute sections on this page are about business-to-business invoices. Residential rent late fees live in Nevada's landlord-tenant law. On the Rent tab, NRS 118A.210(4) is checked against your lease figures and quoted in full. Consumer credit has separate, stricter rules. The distinction is explained in B2B invoice late fees vs. residential rent.
