After termination of the tenancy.

AccountingItemized and written

DeliveryPersonal or mail

The statute specifies personal delivery at the rent-payment location or mailing to the present/last-known address.

Preserve mailing evidence

  • Envelope/postmark.
  • Address used by the landlord.
  • Date the tenancy ended.

Separate the payment type from the deduction. Nevada treats cash deposits, surety bonds, last month’s rent and a possible nonrefundable cleaning charge differently. Educational information only.
