Rental Foreclosure PDF Print E-mail
ARE YOU RENTING A RESIDENCE WHICH IS BEING FORECLOSED UPON?

Under former Nevada state law, if you were renting a dwelling unit which is foreclosed upon, you could be served with a notice requiring you to leave within 3 days or face eviction.  Effective 5/20/09, a new federal law grants you important new rights.  On that day, President Obama signed the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of 2009, S. 896, P.L. 111-22. This bill includes a nationwide 90 day pre-eviction notice requirement for tenants in foreclosed properties.  Moreover, a new Nevada law, AB 140 (2009) which took effect on 10-1-09, gives you additional important protections.  For more information go to Eviction Following Foreclosure on the Clark County Courts’ Civil Law Self-Help Center website
