State Issues Covid-19 Nevada Mortgages Evictions

On August 7, the Nevada governor signed Senate Bill 1, which allows alternative dispute resolutions for rental eviction cases. The bill authorized Nevada’s Supreme Court, justice courts, and district courts to establish rules for an expedited program of alternative dispute resolution for evictions for housing programs operated by a public housing agency. An eviction proceeding subject to the bill may be stayed for no more than 30 days to facilitate the alternative dispute resolution program.
