Can landlord use two different leases for for two different cases same tenant
Hi there, Nevada! Generally, a landlord should not use two different leases for the same tenant for different cases. This could cause confusion and potential legal issues. However, the specifics might depend on the state laws and the circumstances of the leases. Are you currently facing any particular issues with your landlord regarding the leases?
One for eviction and other small claims same tenant same term
In Nevada, a landlord generally shouldn't use two different leases for the same tenant for different cases. This could lead to contradictions and potential legal issues.
- Eviction typically involves a breach of lease terms or non-payment of rent.
- Small claims could involve damages or other financial disputes.
Are both cases filed in the same court?
Justice court but evictions is separate from small claims
In Nevada, it's unusual but not impossible for a landlord to file separate leases for eviction and small claims, as they typically address different issues. However, this can complicate matters legally.
- Eviction cases are generally handled by the Justice Court.
- Small claims cases are also handled by the Justice Court but may be processed separately.
Are you currently involved in both cases, or are you seeking to understand if this is permissible?
Yes eviction court was granted because I missed it but the lease attached was forgery listed rent as$*.* was not signed copyright date of November *.
It sounds like you have a strong case due to the alleged forgery.
- In Nevada, presenting a forged lease in court is illegal and could potentially void the eviction judgment.
- You may want to file a motion to set aside the eviction judgment based on the forgery and lack of proper lease documentation.
Have you consulted a lawyer about this situation yet?
Okay so I never read the final lease when I signed it. I just paid what I was invoiced monthly. When I was short on rent the eviction process began so I filed for rental assistance and when I pulled the lease from the resident portal I saw that the lease said rent $*.* so was basically denied I tried to fix it but by then the eviction was granted because I missed. So I filed small claims case. During the time gathering evidence I found a lease I signed prior to my final copy reason for that because my move in date changed but that one had rent listed also as $*.*. so I pulled the case file for the eviction to see what lease said they submitted with the landlord complaint that is when I found it to be forgery but it still has rent as $ *.*
