Summary
In Nevada, a 7-day notice to pay or quit must be properly served, including personal delivery, posting, or certified mail. An unsigned declaration of service may render the notice invalid, providing a potential defense in eviction proceedings. Paying rent and late fees before court action generally requires acceptance by the landlord. Document any payment attempts and consider filing a tenant answer to protect your rights.Full Conversation
If no attempt was made to directly give a tenant a 7day notice to pay it quit instead was mailed to tenant. And the declaration of service was not signed is it legal. state Nevada
Hi Stephanie!
In Nevada, a *-day notice to pay or quit must be served properly. If it was only mailed and the declaration of service was not signed, it may not be considered legally sufficient.
- Proper service methods include personal delivery, posting on the property, or certified mail.
- The declaration of service is essential to prove notice was given.
Would you like more details on proper service methods?
No I was just wondering because I got one and the declaration of service was not signed
If the declaration of service was not signed, the notice may be invalid. This could provide a defense in an eviction proceeding.
Would you like to know what steps you can take next or how to respond to the notice?
No I'm gonna just go down and pay it the first time they wouldn't accept it because it didn't include the 7day filing fee so I'm going to attempt one more time
Since you're planning to pay it directly, ensure you include any required fees, such as the *-day filing fee. It may also be helpful to get a receipt or proof of payment for your records.
Would you like to know more about how to ensure your payment is properly documented?
In Nevada as long as the late fees are with the rent they have to accept it because they haven't gone to court yet so court fees don't matter right now
In Nevada, if you're paying the rent along with any applicable late fees before the landlord initiates a court proceeding, they generally should accept your payment. Ensure you get a receipt for your payment to have proof. If you have further questions about the eviction process or need more details, feel free to ask.
They gave me notice and I still have time to file a tenant answer but like I said this will be the second time of me attempting to pay it
Stephanie, it's good that you are planning to pay. Ensure you include all required fees to avoid further issues. If they refuse again, you may want to document the refusal. Filing a tenant answer can also protect your rights.
