LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The eviction moratorium in Nevada ends Tuesday, and many people across the state are scrambling to pay rent. Some studies estimate 300,000-500,000 people in Nevada could be evicted.

Starting Sept. 1, if you owe rent or back pay, your landlord can pursue a court order for evictions.
This can be for homes, apartments, or even extended stays.
Evictions cannot be carried out by a landlord, only by a constable.
Courts could face three times as many evictions this September as they did last year. To prevent a backup in the system, courts will grant 30 day stays on evictions to encourage mediation.

The phone number for that program is 702-455-3898 and the email address is mediation.works@clarkcountynv.gov.
