Sunrise Manor is a large unincorporated community in Clark County, Nevada, located immediately east of Las Vegas. As an unincorporated area, it is governed by Clark County rather than a city government, and it has no local rent control, just cause eviction, or additional tenant protection ordinances. Renters in Sunrise Manor are protected exclusively by Nevada state law, administered under the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 118A.
Nevada state law provides meaningful protections: security deposits are capped at three months' rent and must be returned promptly with documentation, landlords must maintain habitable conditions, retaliation is prohibited, and self-help eviction is illegal. However, no Nevada jurisdiction has enacted residential rent control and the state sets no rent cap, so there is no cap on how much rent can be increased; no statute expressly preempts local residential rent control (NRS Chapter 118B governs manufactured-home parks only), and whether local governments may enact it is legally unresolved.
There is no rent control in force in this city, or anywhere else in Nevada. No Nevada jurisdiction has enacted a residential rent-control or rent-stabilization ordinance, and the state has no statewide rent cap, so there is no limit on how much a landlord may charge or how much they may raise the rent. Contrary to a common misstatement, no Nevada statute expressly preempts local rent control for conventional residential housing — NRS Chapter 118B, which is sometimes cited for this, governs manufactured home parks, not standard apartments and houses. Whether Nevada cities and counties even have the legal authority to enact rent control is an unresolved question under the state's local-government law. As of 2026, the practical result is the same statewide: no rent control applies.
Because there is no rent cap, a landlord may raise your rent by any amount as long as they give the legally required written notice before the increase takes effect. For a month-to-month tenancy, Nevada requires at least 30 days' written notice to terminate the tenancy (NRS § 40.251). For a fixed-term lease, rent cannot be raised until the lease expires unless the lease itself permits a mid-term increase. Renters facing a large increase can negotiate with the landlord, choose not to renew, or contact a Nevada legal-aid organization for guidance.
Nevada state law (NRS Chapter 118A) provides the following protections for Sunrise Manor renters:
All-Inclusive Rent and Fee Disclosure (AB 121, 2025): Effective October 1, 2025, Assembly Bill 121 (2025, Chapter 227) amends NRS § 118A.200 to require landlords to state rent as a single all-inclusive 'maximum total periodic rent' — base rent plus any mandatory recurring fees — wherever rent is advertised or listed in the lease, and they may not charge more than that figure (variable utility pass-throughs are excepted). Landlords must also offer at least one rent-payment method that charges no fee and does not require sharing bank-account information, and must refund an application or screening fee when the unit is rented to a different applicant or no screening was performed. This is a disclosure-and-fee protection, not rent control. See AB 121 (2025) and NRS § 118A.200.
In Sunrise Manor, security deposits are governed by NRS § 118A.242. Your landlord may not collect more than three months' rent as a security deposit, regardless of your lease term or credit history. There is no requirement that the deposit be held in a separate account, but the landlord must keep accurate records and must provide a written accounting upon move-out.
When you vacate the unit, your landlord has 30 days to return the full deposit or to provide an itemized written statement of deductions, along with any remaining balance. Lawful deductions include unpaid rent, cleaning costs beyond normal wear and tear, and property damage caused by the tenant. If your landlord wrongfully withholds any portion of the deposit, Nevada law entitles you to recover twice the amount improperly withheld, plus attorney's fees (NRS § 118A.242). You can file a claim in Clark County Justice Court small claims division if needed.
To evict a tenant in Sunrise Manor, a landlord must follow Nevada's formal eviction process. The process begins with a written notice — typically a 7-day notice to pay or quit for nonpayment of rent, a 5-day notice to cure or quit for lease violations, or a 30-day notice for termination of a month-to-month tenancy. If the tenant does not comply or vacate, the landlord must file an Unlawful Detainer action in Clark County Justice Court. A judge must rule in the landlord's favor before a constable can remove the tenant.
Self-help eviction is strictly prohibited under NRS § 118A.390. A landlord who changes locks, removes personal property, or shuts off utilities — including electricity, water, or heat — to force a tenant out without a court order can be sued for actual damages plus punitive damages. Sunrise Manor tenants facing illegal lockouts should contact the Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada or call local law enforcement.
