A: The answer to your question can be found in NRS 11.190. To sue for breach of a written contract, you generally have 6 years. It appears, however, that you are complaining about much more than breach of contract. Any damage that you suffered as a result of any wrongful act or negligence on the part of the manager or others involved may be barred by a two year limitation. This is something that you will need to talk to a lawyer about to determine when the damage occurred, and if it can be considered ongoing for purposes of the statute of limitations.
