Important Nevada-specific notes
Nevada (NRS 118A.330) requires at least 24 hours' notice to enter, at reasonable times during normal business hours. The tenant may consent to shorter notice or to entry outside normal business hours. The landlord has no other right of access except by court order, upon tenant abandonment or surrender, or under NRS 118A.440. The landlord may not abuse the right of access or use it to harass the tenant. Remedies flow from the broader chapter (NRS 118A.390, 118A.510) rather than from § 118A.330 itself.
