Streamlined permitting, revised building codes, and expanded BLM land access are a long-term win for Nevada real estate.

During the last legislative session, I watched several proposals unfold that could have made life significantly harder for landlords across Nevada. We came close to seeing laws pass that would have increased eviction timelines, required us to list every possible tenant charge in advance, and exposed us to major financial risk when fees changed. Fortunately, those bills didn’t pass. Every property owner must understand what is at stake and what remains in motion.

The 83rd legislative session included a wave of tenant-focused bills that would have added pressure to already tight margins. One bill proposed extending the eviction process by 75 days. Another would have required us to document and include every possible fee a tenant might encounter—something nearly impossible to predict with fluctuating HOA and online payment platform charges. If those changes weren’t listed upfront, we would have had to cover the difference. Governor Lombardo vetoed those bills, preventing unnecessary costs and confusion for property owners like us.

 

"Nevada’s housing shortage got a boost with a new initiative focused on faster building and BLM land access."

 

What’s still on the table. Some bills haven’t been decided yet. One in particular would prevent HOAs from blocking licensed home childcare services. That could open up much-needed options for families while giving homeowners more flexibility to run legal, state-approved childcare from their homes. We’re still waiting to see where that bill lands.

Finally, progress on housing. Despite a slow session overall, one major development did move forward. The governor’s housing initiative passed, which will help our growing population by making it easier to build. This includes streamlining the permitting process, revising building codes, and opening up access to BLM land through federal partnerships. It’s a long-term win for the community and for anyone invested in Nevada real estate.

Why this matters now. As an investor or landlord, staying ahead of policy changes is just as important as managing your properties. These decisions can impact your cash flow, operations, and long-term strategy. I make it a point to track them closely so you don’t have to.
