Turn the statute into your own response times
City rules and your leases can be stricter than the state. Write your times as the strictest of the three.
- Count from when the tenant told you, because many deadlines start at notice
- Put heat, water, power and anything dangerous at the top, day or night
- Ask for notice in writing, and reply in writing, so the record exists if anyone asks
- Record every step with a time: the first reply, the booking, the visit and the confirmation
A question managers ask about Nevada
Yes, when the lease or the chapter requires the landlord to supply it. NRS 118A.380 lists air conditioning with heat, water, electricity, gas and a working lock, with 48 hours, not counting weekends and holidays, after written notice.
