A premature death on rental property - Nevada disclosure laws?

A premature death on rental property - Nevada disclosure laws?

Hi BP Landlords, 

We have a rental property where a tenant died last week. We received an autopsy report but it didn't indicate the cause of death. The family member told us the most likely cause was the illness the tenant had. Now we are in a process of moving out inspection with family members. We searched online about whether we need to disclose the death on the rental when we are ready to rent it out again to potential renters but have not got any definite answer yet. If anyone is a landlord in Nevada, please offer some input or related laws on this subject. We would truly appreciate. Thanks in advance!

    Nevada law does NOT require you to disclose a death on the property unless it is caused by the condition of the property. You can read the specific statute HERE.

    Yep. Nathan is correct. The only time you have to disclose the death of a person at a property in Nevada is when the property caused the death.

    Thank you Casey for confirming Nevada's law! We have already put it back for renting again.
