Frequently Asked Questions
Nevada does not legally require an attorney for real estate transactions, but having one protects your interests. A Summerlin real estate attorney reviews purchase contracts, title commitments, and closing documents — catching issues that could cost you thousands later. Attorney fees are typically a small fraction of the transaction value. Given Summerlin's active market, having legal review before closing is a smart investment.
Nevada's Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act (NRS 116) governs HOAs in Summerlin. Homeowners have rights including the right to inspect HOA records, attend board meetings, and challenge fines through a formal hearing process. HOA liens can lead to foreclosure in Nevada. A Summerlin real estate attorney can help you challenge improper fines, negotiate with your HOA, or defend against an HOA lien foreclosure.
Nevada's Landlord-Tenant Act (NRS 118A) protects Summerlin tenants including: the right to a habitable dwelling, security deposit return within 30 days of move-out, written notice before entry (24 hours under NRS 118A.330), and protection against retaliatory eviction. Nevada has specific eviction procedures under NRS 40.251 — a landlord must serve proper written notice before filing an eviction. A Summerlin tenant attorney can help you assert your rights.
Nevada has strict eviction procedures under NRS 40.251–40.290. Landlords must serve written notice (3-day notice for non-payment of rent, 7-day for lease violations, 30-day or 60-day for no-cause eviction depending on tenancy length). If the tenant does not vacate, the landlord files an eviction complaint in Justice Court. A Summerlin real estate attorney can guide landlords through proper eviction procedures to avoid costly mistakes.
