Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Nevada

Re: leases

Yes. If you materially breach the lease by violating the terms of the agreement, the implied agreements in residential tenancies (such as the covenant of quiet enjoyment) or violate certain residential housing laws, your tenants may get out of the lease and may also sue for money damages.

The Nevada Legislature has developed a great basic research site covering all of the statutes and administrative regulations, including references to Nevada Supreme Court decisions

related thereto, available at:

http://www.leg.state.nv.us

You may want to look into the chapters on Landlord and Tenant: Dwellings on this site. In this regard, I invite your attention to NRS Chapter 118A,

which is found at:

http://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-118A.html

There may be other laws affecting your ability to resolve a residential tenancy problem, which is necessarily beyond the scope of this reply.

I charge $200.00 per hour for consultation, document review, case analysis, advice, suggesting and recommending alternatives, legal drafting, telephone calls, legal research and

prosecuting or defending residential tenancy actions when a client hires me.

The Nevada State Bar provides this general information online regarding lawyer fees:

If I do not hear back from you by Friday, March 29, 2002, I will assume that you have answered your questions to your own satisfaction,

hired another lawyer, or decided against pursuing the matter.

I hope this is of assistance to you.
