Nevada Residential Lease Agreement | PDF – MS Word
A Nevada residential lease agreement is a legal document in which the landlord and tenant agree to the terms and conditions surrounding the rental of real estate. It is common for the landlord to ask the tenant to complete a credit application before any agreements are presented. However, should the application go through, and an agreement gets signed, both parties will be legally bound by the provisions set therein. Keys and access to the property are typically granted after the agreement is signed, security deposits are made, and the tenant pays the first (1st) month’s rent.
