# Nevada Eviction Notices (2026): 7-Day Pay-or-Quit, 30-Day No-Cause, 5-Day Lease Violation
**Direct answer:** To evict a tenant in Nevada, you must serve the correct notice: a **seven‑day notice to pay rent or quit** for nonpayment【198964635201247†L93-L100】; a **30‑day notice** (or **seven‑day** for weekly rentals) for no‑cause evictions【635271600812325†L273-L279】; or a **five‑day notice to perform lease condition or quit** for material lease violations【635271600812325†L324-L330】. Serving the wrong notice can invalidate your eviction.
## Why the notice type matters
Nevada’s summary eviction process strictly enforces notice requirements【635271600812325†L260-L263】. If you file with the wrong notice, the court may dismiss your case and you’ll have to start over.
## 7-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit
This notice applies when tenants owe rent. Serve it via a constable or licensed server. Tenants have **seven judicial days** to pay or move【198964635201247†L93-L100】【635271600812325†L333-L336】. You cannot include attorney fees or court costs【198964635201247†L100-L103】. If the tenant pays, you must accept it; if they don’t, serve a five‑day unlawful detainer and file.
## 30-Day / 7-Day No-Cause Notice
Use this notice to terminate a month‑to‑month tenancy or expired lease【635271600812325†L273-L279】. Weekly renters require only **seven days**. After the period expires, serve a **five‑day unlawful detainer**【635271600812325†L280-L281】 and then file the summary eviction complaint.
## 5-Day Notice to Perform Lease Condition or Quit
Serve this for material lease violations like unauthorized occupants or pets【635271600812325†L324-L330】. The tenant has **five business days** to cure or move. If they fail to comply, serve a five‑day unlawful detainer and file.
## 3-Day Nuisance/Waste/Illegal Activity Notice
For serious issues (nuisance, waste, illegal business, drug activity), serve a **three‑day notice**【198964635201247†L168-L176】. After three days, issue a five‑day unlawful detainer if the problem continues.
## Decision tree
Choose the correct notice:
- **Owed rent?** Seven‑day pay or quit【198964635201247†L93-L100】.
- **Lease expired / month‑to‑month?** 30 days (or seven days for weekly)【635271600812325†L273-L279】 + five‑day unlawful detainer【635271600812325†L280-L281】.
- **Lease violation?** Five‑day to perform lease condition【635271600812325†L324-L330】 + five‑day unlawful detainer.
- **Nuisance?** Three‑day nuisance notice【198964635201247†L168-L176】 + five‑day unlawful detainer.
## Mistakes to avoid
- Miscounting business days: exclude weekends and holidays【635271600812325†L333-L336】.
- Failing to follow up with a five‑day unlawful detainer.
- Serving the wrong notice for weekly tenants.
- Including unlawful fees.
## FAQ
**Can I serve two notices at once?** No. You must choose the correct notice for the situation.
