How does the summary eviction process work in Las Vegas?

Las Vegas landlords often ask, “How does the summary eviction process work?” Nevada law offers two types of evictions: summary evictions for repossession and formal unlawful detainer actions for repossession plus monetary damages. Summary evictions are faster because the tenant must respond to the notice or face eviction without a hearing【617652759596605†L150-L166】.

**Step 1: Serve the right notice.** For nonpayment of rent, serve a 7‑Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit. For lease violations, serve a 5‑Day Notice to Perform Lease Condition or Quit. Illegal activity or serious violations require a 3‑Day Unconditional Notice【617652759596605†L195-L245】. Each notice must include specific legal information and be served by an authorized person【617652759596605†L150-L162】.

**Step 2: Wait for the tenant’s response.** Tenants have the notice period to pay, cure, or file an affidavit with the court. If they file an affidavit, the court schedules a hearing. If they don’t respond, you can request a summary eviction order【617652759596605†L150-L166】.

**Step 3: Court order and lockout.** If the court grants your request, the tenant may have only 24–36 hours to move before the sheriff performs a lockout【617652759596605†L150-L165】.
