NOTICE
TO TENANTS OF THE PROPERTY
Foreclosure proceedings against this
property have started, and a notice of sale of the property to the highest
bidder has been issued.
You may either: (1) terminate your
lease or rental agreement and move out; or (2) remain and possibly be subject
to eviction proceedings under chapter 40 of
the Nevada Revised Statutes. Any subtenants may also be subject to eviction
proceedings.
Between now and the date of the
sale, you may be evicted if you fail to pay rent or live up to your other
obligations to the landlord.
After the date of the sale, you may
be evicted if you fail to pay rent or live up to your other obligations to the
successful bidder, in accordance with chapter
118A of the Nevada Revised Statutes.
Under the Nevada Revised Statutes
eviction proceedings may begin against you after you have been given a notice
to surrender.
If the property is sold and you pay
rent by the week or another period of time that is shorter than 1 month, you
should generally receive notice after not less than the number of days in that period
of time.
If the property is sold and you pay
rent by the month or any other period of time that is 1 month or longer, you
should generally receive notice at least 60 days in advance.
Under Nevada Revised Statutes
40.280, notice must generally be served on you pursuant to chapter 40 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.
If the property is sold and a
landlord, successful bidder or subsequent purchaser files an eviction action
against you in court, you will be served with a summons and complaint and have
the opportunity to respond. Eviction actions may result in temporary evictions,
permanent evictions, the awarding of damages pursuant to Nevada Revised
Statutes 40.360 or some combination of those results.
Under the Justice Court Rules of
Civil Procedure:
(1) You will be given
at least 10 days to answer a summons and complaint;
(2) If you do not file
an answer, an order evicting you by default may be obtained against you;
(3) A hearing regarding
a temporary eviction may be called as soon as 11 days after you are served with
