As a landlord it’s just a matter of time before you must use a 5 Day Pay or Quit Eviction Notice to evict your non-paying problem tenant. So what is the purpose of this type of eviction notice in Clark County Nevada and how does it work?
The “Nitty Gritty” of a 5 Day Pay or Quit Eviction Notice
In basic terms you’ll need this notice for a tenant who isn’t paying their rent on time. How soon can this notice be posted? It can be used as soon as the next day after payment is actually due or the following day after whatever grace period the tenant may have according to the rental lease agreement. When it comes to evictions in Las Vegas and the surrounding areas of Clark County this is the most common notice used to get the ball rolling and eventually get the tenants out of the property…legally!
Now here’s the kicker on this process…as a landlord if the tenant sees the 5 day pay or quit and offers full payment of rent you have to legally accept and can no longer go forward with the eviction process. Payment must be full otherwise you can move ahead with evicting them with the next step of the process.
How Long is 5 Days?
Two plus two is four and 5 days is 5 days right? Well…Not Exactly in the case of a 5 day eviction notice. The 5 days are counted during business days only so weekends do not count. Simply put if a notice was served on a Wednesday that day doesn’t count as part of the five. The five days would start on Thursday and Friday would be the second day. Skip Saturday and Sunday and count Monday-Wednesday to equal the full time period of the 5 Day Pay or Quit. On Thursday if the tenant hasn’t contested the notice nor paid the full amount due the eviction process continues.
