Search Nevada squatters' rights and you will find one source saying five years and another saying fifteen. Both miss the clause that decides it. Under NRS 11.150, adverse possession requires five continuous years AND payment of every property tax bill for that period — which is why almost no squatter claim in Nevada ever succeeds.
A Bay Area apartment unit costs $323,825 and yields about 4%. A Las Vegas duplex closed at a $372,500 median for the whole building. With debt at 6.69%, only one of those two produces income instead of consuming it — and the reason is arithmetic, not opinion.
Clark County is putting $12.5 million into Spring Mountain Road, doubling its business grant fund to $1.5 million, and drafting a Chinatown Overlay District — while roughly $70 million in private development lines up behind it. Here is what that does to home values in the four ZIP codes along the corridor.
Nevada has no rent control, so a Reno or Sparks landlord can raise rent by any amount — but NRS 118A makes the process strict: 60 days' written notice, no mid-lease increases, no retaliation, and hard caps on late fees and deposits. Here is what Northern Nevada renters and landlords can and cannot do in 2026.
Nevada has no rent control — a Las Vegas landlord can raise rent by any amount. But NRS 118A wraps that power in strict rules: 60 days' written notice, no mid-lease increases, no retaliation, and hard caps on late fees and deposits. Here is exactly what is legal, what is not, and what both sides can do about it in 2026.
Henderson is the Las Vegas valley's premium rental market — the highest rents, the strongest tenants, and honestly, the lowest cap rates. Here is the real landlord math behind investing in the valley's best suburb: entry points, condo-versus-house yields, tax advantages, and why the appreciation case keeps winning.
The Nevada shore of Lake Tahoe runs on two entirely separate short-term rental rulebooks — Washoe County's occupancy-tier ordinance covering Incline Village and Crystal Bay, and Douglas County's hard-capped Vacation Home Rental program at Zephyr Cove, Stateline, and Glenbrook. Here is how the caps, permits, taxes, and transfer rules actually work in 2026, and why an available permit slot is the scarcest asset on the lake.

Henderson allows short-term rentals — but only with a city permit, and the master-planned communities that dominate the map ban them outright through CC&Rs. Here is how Henderson's STR regime actually works in 2026, where an Airbnb is realistic, and why the permit never transfers when the house sells.
Reno, Sparks, and unincorporated Washoe County each run a separate short-term rental permit program — and the rules change the moment you cross a city line. Here is how the three rulebooks work, why permits die at closing, and what STR buyers and sellers in Northern Nevada need to verify before they sign anything.
Short-term rental licenses in Las Vegas do not transfer when a property sells — and that single fact reshapes every Airbnb sale and purchase in the valley. Here is how owners exit at a premium, how buyers avoid inheriting a dead license, and why both sides call Nevada Real Estate Group first.

The backyard casita is Las Vegas's favorite square footage — and building one is a permits-first project with jurisdiction-specific rules. What Clark County and the cities actually allow, real 2026 construction costs, the HOA gate, and what a casita does to your home's value.
Keeping your Las Vegas house as a rental — because of a 3% mortgage, a move-up, or an investment plan — is a business decision with real rules attached. Pricing, screening, NRS 118A, the 8% tax-cap gotcha, and the honest self-manage-vs-PM math for 2026.
