A: In Nevada, landlords are required to give tenants a 24-hour notice to quit before they can file an eviction notice with the court. If you were evicted without being served a 24-hour notice to quit, you may have legal grounds to challenge the eviction.

Here are some steps you can take:

Contact a legal aid organization. Legal aid organizations can provide you with free or low-cost legal advice and representation.

File a motion to vacate the eviction order. A motion to vacate is a request to the court to set aside the eviction order. You can file a motion to vacate if you were not served with a 24-hour notice to quit or if there was another legal reason why the eviction should not have been granted.

Seek shelter. If you have been evicted, you need to find somewhere to stay. You may be able to stay with friends or family, or you may need to go to a homeless shelter. Several organizations can help you find emergency housing.
