Nevada Bed Bugs

One of the westernmost states in the US, much of Nevada’s prominence in American culture comes from one source, Las Vegas.

Nearly 75% of the state’s 3.1 million residents live in or around Las Vegas, and countless people from around the world visit the city to experience its famous casinos.

Outside of Vegas, Nevada is home to a multitude of national parks. These include Death Valley and the Great Basin National Park, which are famous for their hiking trails.

Tourism plays the biggest role in Nevada’s economy, but it comes with a price…

Where there are large numbers of tourists, bed bugs are sure to follow.

Nevada Laws on Bed Bugs

Nevada, like many other states, enforces a series of tenant-landlord ordinances.

These laws are covered under NRS 118A.335. Under this section, landlords are required to conduct an investigation into a possible bed bug infestation within 2 to 3 days of being notified by a tenant.

Is My Landlord Responsible for Bed Bugs in Nevada?

Yes, your landlord is responsible for dealing with bed bugs in the state of Nevada. As outlined above, Nevada enforces a series of tenant-landlord agreement laws.

If a landlord fails to take proper action, then the tenant who reported the infestation can legally withhold rent until the issue is resolved.

The case can be brought to court, at which point a judge might order the landlord to return all prepaid rent previously given by the tenant.

However, if it’s proven that the tenant is the cause of bed bugs in the building, then the landlord is absolved of all responsibility. At this point, the tenant is responsible for dealing with the infestation.
