Re: Foreclosure

NRS 40.255, governing removal of persons holding over after 3-day notice to quit, and the circumstances authorizing their removal, provides:

1. Except as provided in subsection 2, in any of the following cases, a person who holds over and continues in possession of real property or a mobile home after a 3-day written notice to quit has been served upon him, and also upon any subtenant in actual occupation of the premises, pursuant to NRS 40.280, may be removed as prescribed in NRS 40.290 to 40.420, inclusive:

(a) Where the property or mobile home has been sold under an execution against him or a person under whom he claims, and the title under the sale has been perfected;

(b) Where the property or mobile home has been sold upon the foreclosure of a mortgage, or under an express power of sale contained therein, executed by him or a person under whom he claims, and the title under the sale has been perfected;

(c) Where the property or mobile home has been sold under a power of sale granted by NRS 107.080 to the trustee of a deed of trust executed by such person or a person under whom he claims, and the title under such sale has been perfected; or

(d) Where the property or mobile home has been sold by him or a person under whom he claims, and the title under the sale has been perfected.

2. This section does not apply to the tenant of a mobile home lot in a mobile home park.

So under Nevada law, a written three-day notice to move is required; then, if no compliance, an unlawful detainer lawsuit must be filed, served on the occupants, and won by the lender.
