Nevada Lease Renewal Agreement

Nevada lease renewal guide

Before using this renewal

Check that the original lease is complete

Use this packet for the same home and parties, with a renewed term of up to one year. It carries forward lawful terms of the original lease; it is not a standalone replacement for that lease. Collect the original signed agreement, addenda, condition inventory and required notices first. If those records are missing, do not treat a short renewal as a way to cure every missing provision. Review the complete agreement before asking anyone to sign.

Why Nevada has a disclosure page first

NRS 118A.200(4) requires a prominent first-page disclosure for certain single-family agreements not signed by an authorized agent holding a property-management permit. For this provision, 'single-family residence' includes structures with up to four units. This packet retains the disclosure as page 1 and keeps its text larger than the other text. Do not remove it when printing. The disclosure addresses rebuttable lawful-occupancy presumptions; it does not say every unnotarized lease is invalid. Official source

Identify the people and the home

Enter the actual property address and unit, landlord's legal name, authorized agent if any, and current contact details. Check who has authority to sign, particularly after a sale or management change. A business name on a payment portal is not by itself proof of ownership or authority. If the parties change, document the substitution or release separately instead of simply overwriting a tenant's name in a renewal.

Read all incorporated documents together

NRS 118A.200 identifies required lease subjects, including occupants, pets/children, services, charges, deposits, utilities, inspection rights, a signed condition record and specified rights/information. This renewal depends on the original lease for provisions it does not restate. Review those documents as a set, including nuisance-reporting and protected-display information. A generic statement that old terms continue does not make an unlawful term enforceable or supply missing documents. Official source

Total rent and a workable timeline

Use one maximum periodic rent figure

The current and renewed rent fields are total monthly figures, including mandatory periodic charges. In the charge-description field, identify charges already included rather than adding them again. Example: $1,800 base rent plus a mandatory $50 monthly charge produces a $1,850 total. Writing $1,800 as the total and demanding $1,850 later defeats the point of a clear total. Reconcile the total against the proposed payment schedule and the existing ledger before signing. Official source

Utility exceptions require their own disclosures

NRS 118A.200(8) has limited utility exceptions with specific same-page statements and reference-symbol requirements. This simple packet does not implement a separate variable utility-billing exception. If the property needs one, use a properly prepared agreement with those disclosures instead of adding an unexplained 'utilities extra' note. The total shown here must not conceal mandatory charges. Separate charges paid directly to a utility require clear responsibility in the original lease. Official source

Serve the rent-increase notice early

NRS 118A.300 requires written notice 60 days before the first increased payment, or 30 days for a periodic tenancy shorter than one month. A renewal signature does not replace timely service. Count backward from the first payment at the higher amount, not merely from the signing appointment. If notice is late, do not backdate it; resolve the effective date and interim terms. Some older official summaries still show superseded notice periods, so use the current statute. Official source

Keep the offer, notice and acceptance distinct

Maintain separate records of the renewal offered, the legally required notice and its service, and the agreement actually signed. A tenant may ask questions or propose changes before accepting. Do not treat an unanswered email as a signed renewal. If a proposed date or amount changes, give everyone the same final version and recheck the notice timeline rather than mixing signatures from different drafts.

Money held and ongoing obligations

Carry forward the actual deposit

Record the deposit already held, supported by the ledger. NRS 118A.242 limits security, including the last month's rent and applicable bond value, to three months' periodic rent. Renewal alone is not a reason to collect the same deposit again, and this packet creates no new deposit charge. Keep initial condition evidence and later repair records together; renewing does not reset the property's condition to undamaged. Official source

Prepare for the eventual move-out

At termination, NRS 118A.242 requires an itemized written accounting and remaining deposit within 30 days. Deductions must fit the permitted purposes, including unpaid rent, damage beyond normal wear and reasonable cleaning. Do not label the entire deposit nonrefundable; the statute has a limited reasonable cleaning-charge exception. Document what happened, the amount and supporting evidence rather than using automatic unexplained deductions. Official source

Offer a compliant way to pay

NRS 118A.303 requires at least one payment method without a fee or compelled bank-account information, with the stated check exception. Online portal fees cannot exceed the operator's fee and must be separately identified in the agreement. Review the actual payment instructions before renewal. A mandatory paid portal is not solved merely by adding the portal charge to the total-rent field. Official source

Do not change money terms through house rules

NRS 118A.320 sets conditions for enforceable house rules and restricts rules affecting rent, utilities or other charges. Keep proposed financial changes in an appropriate agreement, not a new community-rules sheet. Review any material rule change, its notice and its consistency with the existing lease. Apply rules fairly and preserve the tenant's statutory rights instead of using renewal to add a broad waiver. Official source

Sign, deliver and preserve the record

One signature row for each person

Each tenant writes a full legal name, signs and dates the same row. The landlord or authorized agent uses the separate owner row. Leave unused tenant rows blank. Confirm signatures belong to the intended parties and keep the disclosure page with the agreement. Under NRS 118A.200, provide the tenant a copy of the written agreement without charge at execution; keep the complete signed packet, not just the signature page. Official source

Nonrenewal is a different process

A renewal agreement is not an eviction notice. Reno Justice Court describes a no-cause process for tenants not bound by a lease, typically involving a 30-day first notice and a separate five-judicial-day notice. The court specifies who may serve those notices. Do not treat this outline as a substitute for the correct form and service. Check the court with jurisdiction; a Reno procedure page is not a claim that every court uses identical filing practices. Official source

Do not force an unresolved outcome

If the tenant does not sign, resolve the lease's status and lawful next steps before changing locks, interrupting services or treating the home as vacant. A disagreement about renewal is not evidence that the tenant has abandoned possession. Seek case-specific help for contested nonrenewal, protected tenants or special housing programs. Keep communications factual and retain both parties' versions of disputed terms.

Printing and a final review

Print pages 1-4 for the complete agreement, including the prominent disclosure. Pages 5-8 are a reading guide. Attach the original lease and applicable addenda, check the total rent and dates, confirm notice records and give each party the same signed packet. The small online link and QR return to the Nevada tool. Sources reviewed November 13, 2026; verify later amendments before future use. This is educational guidance, not a determination that a particular property or lease complies with every requirement.

Arizona lease renewal guide

Use this agreement when the landlord and the existing tenants agree to extend the same residential lease for a new fixed term. Read the lease and all signed addenda together before filling in the renewal.

Set the dates and rent

Check the existing lease for an expiration date, a renewal option, and any deadline for giving notice. If the current term ends December 31 and the parties want uninterrupted occupancy, the new term normally begins January 1. Write the exact end date, the renewed rent, and when the new rent starts. If a rent change falls mid-month, agree on how the partial month will be calculated. A.R.S. § 33-1314(A) and (C)

What happens after the old term expires?

Check whether the existing lease already provides for renewal or continuation. Arizona generally treats a rental agreement with no definite term as month to month, with an exception for a roomer paying weekly rent. The holdover statute points to that rule when the landlord consents in writing to continued occupancy after expiration. If there is a dispute about consent or possession, resolve that before using a mutual renewal form. A.R.S. § 33-1314(D) and § 33-1375(C)

Count notice time from the rental date

To end an existing month-to-month tenancy, give written notice at least 30 days before the periodic rental date named in the notice. For example, if rent is due on the first and the notice specifies June 1, notice must be received by May 2. For registered or certified mail, Arizona uses the earlier of actual receipt and five days after mailing. Keep the notice and delivery record together. A fixed-term renewal offer may follow a different deadline under the existing lease. A.R.S. § 33-1375(B) and § 33-1313(B)

Record the deposit already held

Compare the deposit in the renewal with the original receipt and payment records. State law generally caps security a landlord demands, including prepaid rent, at one and a half months’ rent. The statute allows a tenant to pay more rent voluntarily in advance. Record any agreed change separately so both parties can tell what is already held and what is newly due. A fee or deposit is refundable unless its nonrefundable purpose is stated in writing as required by the statute. A.R.S. § 33-1321(A) and (B)

Review changes to rules, services, and contact details

If parking, utilities, or another service will change, identify exactly what changes and when. A rule adopted during a tenancy generally requires 30 days’ notice and cannot substantially modify the rental agreement under the rulemaking provision. Review the original lease before treating a change in an agreed service as a house rule. Keep the management and notice contacts current and check the renewal for prohibited waivers of tenant rights. A.R.S. § 33-1342, § 33-1322, and § 33-1315

Sign and save the complete agreement

Have each named signer review the same terms before signing. Give each party the signed agreement and keep it with the original lease, amendments, and any related notices. Check the housing type before relying on this form. Arizona excludes certain arrangements from its residential landlord and tenant chapter, and subsidized housing may also have program-specific renewal requirements. A.R.S. § 33-1308
