With the expiration of #AB486 of the 81st Session of the #NVLeg, there is a serious eviction crisis looming in Las Vegas because those who have pending applications for rental assistance no longer are protected from being evicted, summarily or otherwise: leg.state.nv.us/Session/81st20…
Thankfully, there are several pieces of good legislation on @JosephMLombardo's desk awaiting signature that will help protect tenants and avoid this crisis.
#SB335 from @Ohrenschall4NV extends protections for tenants with pending rental assistance applications and authorizes Nevada's justice courts to create an eviction diversion program: leg.state.nv.us/Session/82nd20…
#AB340 from @Shondra_Summers reforms the Nevada summary eviction process to be in line with the 49 other states that require a landlord to file with the court first, rather than requiring a tenant to file with the court first when facing summary eviction: leg.state.nv.us/Session/82nd20…
#AB396, presented by @SheaBackusEsq, allocates an additional $18 million over the next two years to @ClarkCountyNV, @CityofReno, and @cityofsparks for additional rental assistance: leg.state.nv.us/Session/82nd20…
#SB 78 from @fabiandonate (leg.state.nv.us/Session/82nd20…) and #AB218 from @Nv18Venicia (leg.state.nv.us/Session/82nd20…) provide additional critical tenant protections that help level the playing field.
Given the earlier veto of @sandra4nv's #AB298 (leg.state.nv.us/Session/82nd20…), which contained commonsense protections for seniors and disabled persons (among other things), #SB335, #AB340, #AB396, #SB78, and #AB218 are crucial to ensure we avoid an eviction crisis in Southern Nevada.
A special thank you to all who worked so hard on this critical legislation, especially the @LegalAidSNV. I remain hopeful that they will be signed into law by @JosephMLombardo.
