What A Lease Cannot Say
NRS 118A.220 — five clauses that are void, and damages for putting them in
- Waiving the tenant's rights or remedies under the landlord and tenant chapter
- Authorizing anyone to confess judgment against the tenant
- Making the tenant pay the landlord's attorney's fees, though a lease may award reasonable fees to whoever prevails in court
- Excusing the landlord, or making the tenant cover the landlord, for liability from the landlord's own acts or omissions or those of the landlord's agents
- Requiring a different notice to end the tenancy from the tenant than the landlord has to give
Void, and worth damages. A clause of any of those kinds is void as contrary to public policy, and the tenant may recover any actual damages caused by its being in the lease.
