Tenants need to remember that the State of Nevada is a pro-landord state.

Having said that, most of the owners that we deal with want to do what is right by their property and the tenant. However, owners are not made of money as many tenants would presume. Tenants need to realize that an inflated housing market usually means that rents don't come close to covering the expenses associated with a property, and the owner is having to come out of pocket each month just to keep the project a float.

If a tenant really enjoys the property, it is in the tenant’s best interest to put a little effort into keeping it maintained. Most owners are happy to share expenses when a tenant wants to make a change or improvement that directly benefits the tenant. An example might be the installation of a security screen door or a water softener. These are items the tenant wants but can ultimately benefit the owner as well.
