Revises provisions governing landlords and tenants. (BDR 10-166)
AB 121 requires Nevada landlords to list rent as a single total figure in agreements, including mandatory fees like utilities, and prohibits charging more than this amount. It mandates landlords provide at least one free payment method that doesn’t require bank details or additional fees, and requires clear disclosure of any online payment fees. Landlords must refund application fees if they rent to another tenant without using the collected fee for processing, and cannot charge for background checks or credit reports for minors in the household. The law directly affects Nevada renters and landlords by increasing transparency in rent pricing, payment options, and fee practices.
