Nevada Notice to Cure or Quit (Lease Violation)

NEVADA NOTICE TO CURE OR QUIT

CURABLE LEASE VIOLATION -- TWO-NOTICE RESIDENTIAL PACKET

Use this packet only for a condition or covenant of a residential lease that can still be performed. Do not use it for nonpayment of rent, no-cause termination, or a three-day ground under NRS 40.2514. If the condition cannot later be performed, NRS 40.2516 states that no notice need be given, but counsel should select and verify the correct procedure rather than using this curable-breach form.
