⏱WRITTEN, 30 DAYS, AND DELIVERED: No Nevada statute fixes a notice period for a tenant ending a periodic tenancy — neither chapter 118A nor chapter 40 contains one. The accepted practice is at least 30 days’ written notice, mirroring the 30 days NRS § 40.251 sets for other-than-week-to-week periodic tenancies. A rental agreement may not require you to give a different notice than the landlord must give you (NRS § 118A.220(1)(e)). Verbal notice and short notice can leave you liable for additional rent.
💰PROTECT YOUR SECURITY DEPOSIT: Provide a written forwarding address. Nevada Revised Statutes § 118A.242 typically requires the landlord to return your deposit, less itemized lawful deductions, no later than 30 days after the termination of the tenancy.
⚠

The notice period runs from delivery, not from your last day in the unit. If you give 30 days’ notice on the 10th of the month and intend to move out before the period ends, you are still on the hook for rent through that 30 days window. Moving out early without paying through the period can lead to a small claims action or a security deposit deduction. Pay rent through the full notice period, document delivery, and surrender keys on or before the last day; the 30-day security deposit clock runs from the termination of the tenancy under NRS § 118A.242.

A Nevada Tenant Notice to Vacate is the written 30 days notice a tenant gives a landlord to end a periodic tenancy — the accepted Nevada practice, since no statute fixes a tenant’s notice period. It identifies the rental unit, sets the last day of tenancy, provides a forwarding address for the security deposit, and creates the documentary record that protects you if the move-out is later disputed. The form on this page handles the statutory content automatically — you fill in the blanks, the PDF generates a clean, signature-ready notice, and you deliver it to your landlord.

Watch: Nevada Tenant Notice to Vacate explained

No Nevada statute sets how much notice a tenant must give to end a periodic tenancy; NRS § 40.251 sets the landlord-side periods — at least 7 days for a week-to-week tenancy and at least 30 days for other periodic tenancies — and 30 days’ written notice (7 if you pay weekly) mirrors them. A rental agreement may not require you to give a different notice of termination than the landlord must give you (NRS § 118A.220(1)(e)). Written notices to a landlord may be delivered or mailed to the place of business named in the rental agreement or where rent is paid, effective from delivery or mailing (NRS § 118A.190(3)).

What this form does and when to use it

The Nevada Tenant Notice to Vacate is a written notice from the tenant to the landlord ending a periodic (typically month-to-month) tenancy. It serves three purposes at once: it gives the landlord the customary 30 days’ notice that the tenancy will end, it specifies the last day of tenancy so rent obligations stop on a defined date, and it provides the forwarding address that tells the landlord where to mail the deposit it must return within 30 days after the tenancy terminates under NRS § 118A.242(4). Without a properly written and delivered notice, a tenant who simply moves out remains exposed to claims for additional rent and may have a harder time recovering the security deposit.

Use this notice when you have a periodic tenancy — month-to-month is the most common form, but the same rule applies to week-to-week or other periodic arrangements (with a corresponding shorter notice period for terms shorter than a month). The 30 days notice applies regardless of how long you have lived in the unit. Many states impose longer notice obligations on landlords than on tenants — those longer landlord rules do not flow back to tenants. As a tenant on a periodic tenancy in Nevada, you give 30 days — or 7 days if you pay weekly rent; a rental agreement may not require a different notice than the landlord must give (NRS § 118A.220(1)(e)).

This is not the right form for a fixed-term lease. If you have a lease with a defined end date and you intend to leave at the natural end of the term, the lease itself sets the end date — although it is good practice to send a written notice anyway to confirm your intent and give your forwarding address; the 30-day deposit clock runs from the termination of the tenancy. If you want to leave a fixed-term lease early, the 30 days notice does not apply: you need either a lease provision authorizing early termination, the landlord’s written agreement to release you, or a statutory ground (uninhabitable conditions, domestic violence early termination, or military deployment under federal SCRA at 50 U.S.C. § 3955). Sending a notice to vacate on a fixed-term lease without one of those grounds typically does not end your rent liability under Nevada law.
