An attorney with the consumer rights project for the Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada says there are no rent control laws in Nevada and landlords are able to increase rent to as market price.
Landlords cannot raise the rent during a lease and they are required to give a 60-day notice once the lease is up. Week to week renters must get at least a 30-day written notice.
