TENANT’S AFFIDAVIT/DECLARATION
(NON-PAYMENT EVICTION - PUBLIC/PUBLICLY SUBSIDIZED HOUSING)
TENANT INSTRUCTIONS
(Form #14)
If you live in public or subsidized housing, use Form #14, TENANT'S
AFFIDAVIT/DECLARATION (Non-Payment Eviction – Public/Publicly Subsidized
Housing). These instructions apply to this form.
Nevada law allows no grace period for late payment of rent. Your landlord can serve
you with the appropriate non-payment notice whenever your rent is late. You have 3
options:
1.
Pay the rent requested.
2.
Vacate the rental unit.
OR, if you have a legal defense,
3.
Fill out and file the Tenant’s Affidavit/Declaration which will get you a hearing
before a Justice of the Peace. To file the Tenant’s Affidavit/Declaration you
will be required to pay a filing fee unless the court waives it due to your
inability to pay.1
The law requires that you file your Tenant’s Affidavit/Declaration by noon of the 5th
judicial day2 following getting served the notice to leave the rental unit by your landlord. If
you don't arrive by noon, some court clerks may accept it up until closing, but some will not.
If the 5th day ends on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, you have until noon on the next day
the court is open to file your Tenant’s Affidavit/Declaration.

See the section entitled “How to File a Tenant’s Affidavit/Declaration” to request

NUMBERS 6 THROUGH 14
Check the items that apply to your situation
Number 6
This section contains defenses related to improper notice, e.g., that you did
not get notice as required by law.
The type of notice that the landlord must serve on you depends upon what
type of housing you live in. For example, if you live in conventional public housing,
the Housing Authority must give you a 14-day notice in addition to a 5-day notice.
The 5-day notice must give you the option to either (a) pay the rent by the end of the
5th day after the notice is given or (b) leave. The 14-day notice should come before
the 5-day notice and should mention that you have the right to a grievance hearing.
Under certain circumstances, the landlord can combine those two notices or give the
5-day notice before the 14 days expire. These are complicated legal situations and
you should call an attorney to assist you with this defense.
Other subsidized housing does not require a 14-day notice. For example, if
you have a Section 8 Voucher and rent from a private landlord, that private landlord
is not required to give you a 14-day notice. All that is required is a 5-day notice.
Moreover, a grievance hearing is not required if you live in other subsidized housing
or have a Section 8 Voucher.
Check A, B, or C, whichever applies to your situation. Note that A requires
an explanation.
Number 7
This section contains defenses that you have paid or tried to pay your rent.
If you paid your rent, check A and fill in the amount you paid and the date you
paid. Check 1, 2, 3, and/or 4, indicating how you paid. If you checked 4, “Other,”
that you paid by another method (e.g., providing agreed upon repairs or
improvements), explain in the blank space how you paid the rent.

Check B if you attempted to pay the rent, but the landlord refused to accept it.
Explain.
Check C if you tried to pay the rent, but the landlord refused to accept it
because you refused to pay additional unauthorized charges, like collection fees or
attorney fees. Explain
Check D if you have made other arrangements, like paying extra to catch the
back rent. Explain.
Number 8
This sentence states that the amount of the rent which the landlord claims
you owe is incorrect. The amount may be incorrect because the landlord made a
math error, because the landlord is wrong about the amount which you agreed to
pay each month, etc. Also, since you live in public or subsidized housing, the
landlord may have calculated your share of the rent incorrectly. This may happen if
you recently lost a job or have been cut back on the hours you work. If this
happens, you may be entitled to reduced rent. Remember, however, that the
landlord is only obligated to recalculate (reduce) your rent if you tell the landlord in
writing that your income has decreased. The amount you owe should be reduced in
the month following the month you report the decrease in income. (Remember, you
also have an obligation to report any increases in your income as soon as you know
about them.)
Provide an explanation as to why you do not owe the amount.
Habitability Defenses
Available Only to Tenants in Conventional Public Housing
Number 9
If you live in Conventional Public Housing, federal regulations (and probably
your lease) require the housing authority to maintain the rental unit and the project in
a decent, safe and sanitary condition. You may be able to claim an abatement of
rent or a set-off against any rent owed. You should have given the housing authority

a written notice of the problems by mail or delivering a copy to the main office.
Check item Number 9 and the conditions (A through H) that apply to your
situation. Note that A, B, C and D require explanations.
Defenses Available to Tenants in Publicly- Subsidized Housing
other than Conventional Public Housing
Number 10
This sentence states that the housing authority has not paid its share of the
rent. If you have a Section 8 voucher, you pay a part of the rent to the landlord and
the housing authority pays the remainder. If you have paid, but the housing
authority has not paid its portion of the rent to the landlord, the landlord should not
evict you.
Check Number 10 if this situation applies to you.
Number 11
This section states that you are exercising your right under the authority of
NRS 118A.380(1)(c) to withhold the payment of rent until essential services (heat,
running water, hot water, electricity, gas, etc.) have been restored. To lawfully
withhold rent, you must first give the landlord a written notice to restore essential
services within two working days.
Check Number 11 if this situation applies to you, provide the date that you
gave notice and explain.
Numbers 12 and 13
These two sections explain various set-offs against rent.
A “set-off” is a
claim you may have against your landlord or a debt which your landlord owes you
which the court could deduct from any rent you may owe.
Check Numbers 12 and/or 13 if the situations apply to you and provide
explanations.
Number 12
This sentence states that you are claiming a set-off against any rent owed
because the landlord is intentionally failing to provide essential services (doing it on

purpose).
In such cases, NRS 118A.390 allows the tenant to set-off actual
damages plus up to $1,000.00 in additional statutory damages.
Number 13
This sentence states that you are claiming a set-off against any rent owed
because the landlord is failing to maintain the rental unit in a habitable condition. In
such cases, NRS 118A.350, NRS 118A.360 and NRS 118A.380 allow you to claim
actual damages if you have followed the steps set out in the statutes (see the
following three paragraphs).
If your house or apartment is in need of substantial repair, you may claim as
damage the decreased value of the apartment or house under NRS 118A.350. You
generally must give your landlord a 14-day written notice of the problems. However,
if the landlord admits to the problems during the hearing, or if the landlord received
written notice from a public health or building inspector, the court can allow a set-off
even if you did not give a written notice.
If the cost to repair is less than $100.00 or one month’s rent (whichever is
greater) you may notify the landlord that you will correct the condition at the
landlord’s expense. If the landlord fails to use his best efforts to comply within 14
days after being notified by the tenant in writing (or more promptly in emergencies),
the tenant may pay for repairs, submit an itemized statement to the landlord and
deduct the cost of the repair from his rent under NRS 118A.360.
If you have been without essential services such as electricity, hot water, or
the plumbing is broken, you may claim as damage the decreased value of the rental
unit, the cost of substitute housing (like renting a motel room) or the cost of directly
buying the services – for example, purchasing a space heater). You must give your
landlord a written notice of two (2) working days under NRS 118A.380 before you
may claim damages.

Number 14
As only the more common defenses and set-offs are listed above, this section
provides you with the opportunity to state other potential defenses/set-offs that you
believe apply to your situation. Specifically, explain those defenses/set-offs.
Request for a Stay
If the judge decides that you have not raised a legal defense, you may be
required to move within 24 hours. However, if you would experience extreme
hardship, you can ask the judge for a delay in the eviction for up to 10 judicial days.
This is called a “Stay,” but will probably be granted only for a really good reason.
You may request a Stay in case you lose by placing a check mark on the line in the
last paragraph prior to your signature at the end of the form. NRS 70.010(2) allows
the Judge to give you up to 10 days to move.
For example, you might have no money to rent a new place until your Social
Security check arrives in 5 days which would cause you and your to children to be
homeless.
Fill in the number of days you are requesting and provide an explanation as
to why you are in need of additional time.
SIGNATURE AND NOTARY PUBLIC / DECLARATION SECTION
You have a choice between signing the document in front of a notary, making the
document an affidavit, or signing a declaration without a notary. Generally, clerks are
available to certify that you signed the document. However, both alternatives mean that if
you are not being truthful, you could be prosecuted for perjury.
HOW TO FILE A TENANT’S AFFIDAVIT/DECLARATION
There is a fee to file your Tenant’s Affidavit/Declaration. However, if you do not have
the money, you may file an Application to Waive Fees and Costs, Form #37. You will list all
of your income (earnings, rental income and government checks) plus your assets (real
property, bank accounts, motor vehicles, etc.) and expenses (rent, utilities, insurance,
childcare, credit card payments, car payments, etc.) on this form. (See the specific

instructions involved with this process – Forms #37, #38 and #39.) When you complete the
Application to Waive Fees and Costs, file your Tenant’s Affidavit/Declaration with it. The
court will not officially file your Tenant’s Affidavit/Declaration until either (1) the judge grants
your Application to Waive Fees and Costs (and gives you an Order Regarding Waiver of
Fees and Costs, Form #39) or (2) you pay the filing fee.
Next, the clerk will file the original of your Tenant’s Affidavit/Declaration and you
should ask the clerk to file-stamp your copies. The law requires that the landlord receive a
file-stamped copy of your Tenant’s Affidavit/Declaration. Some courts may deliver it to the
landlord for you. Ask the clerk. The safest course of action is to deliver it yourself. If you
are filing at the beginning of your notice period you can mail your Tenant’s
Affidavit/Declaration to the landlord. If you are at the end of your notice period, it is faster
to deliver a copy to the landlord personally or leave one with someone at his/her residence
or place of business. If there is a later dispute about whether or not you provided a filestamped copy of your Tenant’s Affidavit/Declaration to your landlord, you can prove
delivery by obtaining a “Certificate of Mailing” from the United States Postal Service or
taking a witness with you when you deliver it in person to your landlord.
Once you have filed your Tenant’s Affidavit/Declaration, the court should schedule a
hearing. Each court sets hearing dates differently, so ask the clerk of the court when the
hearing will take place.
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO TO PREPARE FOR A HEARING?
Gather all documents and arrange for all witnesses that will help you prove your
defense(s) to come to your court hearing. Prepare the questions that you plan to ask your
witnesses. Also prepare the questions that you plan to ask the landlord and the landlord’s
witnesses. Remember, you will typically get only one day in court. It will do you no good to
tell the judge, for example, that you left a receipt at home or that you have an eyewitness
who is not with you in court.
If you (or any of your witnesses) speak Spanish or another language other than
English, you should ask the clerk whether the court will provide an interpreter or whether

you may bring your own interpreter with you to court. An interpreter should be able to
speak both your native language and English fluently.
A person cannot act as an
interpreter who is (a) the spouse of or otherwise related to a witness, (b) is biased, or (c)
has an interest in the outcome of the case. If you (or any of your witnesses) is a person
with a disability who cannot readily understand or communicate in English or who cannot
understand the proceedings, you should ask the court in advance to appoint a qualified
interpreter.
You may also want to arrange in advance for a court reporter to be present at the
hearing. A court reporter records everything that happens at the hearing and that record
may be important if you lose the hearing and later decide to appeal. You should call the
court clerk in advance to find out how to arrange for a court reporter to be present at the
hearing. You should then contact the court reporter in advance to discuss the fees and
when payment is expected. If an appeal is filed after the hearing, there will typically be an
additional charge per page.
WHAT HAPPENS AT THE HEARING?
At the hearing you should be prepared to tell your story. Bring all documents and
witnesses necessary to prove your defense(s). You may also question the landlord and his
witnesses. Although the hearing is informal, dress nicely, be polite and call the judge “Your
Honor.” Also, do not argue, roll your eyes, scowl, interrupt the judge or the other side, etc.
If you win (the judge decides that you have raised a legal defense) the judge should
dismiss the eviction. The landlord may attempt to evict you later in a more formal lawsuit.
If you are served with court papers, contact an attorney.
If you lose (the judge decides that you have not raised a legal defense) you will be
required to move within 24 hours. However, if you would experience extreme hardship, you
can ask the judge for a delay in the eviction for up to 10 judicial days. This is called a
“Stay,” but will probably be granted only for a really good reason. If the judge appeared to
make a major mistake of law (described in the specific instructions for each of Forms #13
through #16), you may wish to contact an attorney immediately to discuss the possibility of

an appeal.
Unless the judge has granted a stay, you should remove all of your personal
property from the rental unit immediately. The sheriff or constable may lock you out within
24 hours.
If you do not remove all your personal property or do not make other
arrangements with the landlord, the landlord may put your property into storage and refuse
to return it until you pay a reasonable storage fee. If the landlord is demanding an
unreasonable fee, you can ask the court to determine what is reasonable.
