Nevada Tiny Home Community Rules Every Renter Should Know

Special Housing Types & Situations Nevada published June 21, 2025

Tiny home communities are becoming more common across Nevada, offering affordable and flexible living options for renters. If you're considering moving into a tiny home community, or you already live in one, it's important to understand your rights and responsibilities under Nevada law. This article explains the essentials of tiny home community rules for renters in Nevada and the protections you have under state housing laws.

Understanding Tiny Home Community Living in Nevada

Tiny homes are typically compact, efficient houses—often under 400 square feet—that may be placed in designated tiny home parks or special communities. In Nevada, these communities operate with specific rules similar to manufactured home parks. If you rent a tiny home or a space (lot) for your tiny home, you are generally protected by the same tenant laws that apply to manufactured home parks under Chapter 118B of the Nevada Revised Statutes¹.

You usually sign a rental agreement (written or oral) that sets out your rent, rules, and responsibilities.
Community rules may cover parking, noise, pets, exterior upkeep, and use of common areas.
All community rules and lease provisions must comply with state law—they cannot override your rights as a renter.

Key Rights and Rules for Nevada Tiny Home Renters

Nevada grants specific protections to renters in tiny home and manufactured home communities, covering deposits, rule changes, rent increases, and eviction processes.

Written Rental Agreements

Your landlord must provide a written rental agreement on request (NRS 118B.040).
The agreement should clearly state lease terms, rent, fees, and all community rules.

Deposits and Rent Increases

Security deposits are generally capped at three months’ rent in Nevada tiny home/manufactured communities (NRS 118B.170).
Landlords must give at least 90 days written notice before any rent increase in a manufactured or tiny home park (NRS 118B.150).

Rule Changes in the Community

If the landlord wants to change existing park/community rules, you must receive at least 60 days’ written notice.
Changes cannot violate Nevada law or threaten your health/safety.
You may use the Tenant Complaint Form ("Tenant Request/Complaint Form") to formally raise rule-related issues with the landlord. Find the Nevada Legal Services official Tenant Request/Complaint Form here. Use this to document and request action on maintenance, repairs, or rule violations.

Eviction Process and Your Protections

Eviction for nonpayment of rent, rule violations, or other causes must follow strict notice procedures under Nevada landlord-tenant law.
You typically receive a written notice and have a set period to cure (fix the issue) or leave before formal eviction.
If you do receive an eviction notice, you may respond with the Tenant's Answer to Summary Eviction (Form NRS 118B). Submit this form to contest the eviction. You can download the official Tenant's Answer Form from the Clark County Justice Courts website. File it as instructed to present your defenses to the court.

Repairs and Maintenance

Landlords or community managers are responsible for major repairs and maintaining safe living standards in shared spaces.
For urgent repairs not completed within a reasonable time, renters may file a written notice using the Tenant Request/Complaint Form above.

When unsure about your rights in a Nevada tiny home community, you can seek guidance from designated state housing agencies or by reviewing the most recent Nevada landlord-tenant statutes online.

Nevada Residential Tenancies Tribunal and Laws

Disputes between landlords and renters, including those in tiny home communities, are generally handled by the Clark County Justice Courts – Landlord Tenant Division or the equivalent Justice Court in your area. Decisions are based on Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 118B (Manufactured Home Parks) and Chapter 118A (General Landlord-Tenant Law).

If your landlord tries to make rule changes or start an eviction without following Nevada's required procedures, you have the right to challenge these actions and request a hearing.»
