Can my landlord charge for cleaning in Nevada?

By housr editorsSources checked 2026-10-05 · legal review pending
The short answerNRS 118A.242(4)
Nevada lets the landlord claim the reasonable costs of cleaning the premises from the deposit.

“…the landlord may claim of the security deposit or surety bond, or a combination thereof, only such amounts as are reasonably necessary to remedy any default of the tenant in the payment of rent, to repair damages to the premises caused by the tenant other than normal wear and to pay the reasonable costs of cleaning the premises.”

Use the age of the item, not of your tenancy. Your move-in report or lease may say when it was installed.
No sourced useful life yetWe haven't found a published useful-life figure for cleaning that we can cite, so we don't pre-fill one. Enter a life you can support: a manufacturer's warranty, the product page, or a figure from your lease.

Enter what you were charged.

How it's worked out: charge × (useful life − age) ÷ useful life. It is a prorated estimate using a useful life you can see and change; your state, your lease or a court may treat the charge differently. Most deposit statutes we've read exclude normal or ordinary wear and tear; your state's page quotes its rule.

Useful life: what we can cite

We haven't found a published useful-life figure for cleaning that we can cite, so Fair Charge asks you for one instead of assuming it. A manufacturer's warranty or product page is a reasonable place to start; label it as yours when you use it.
