A: In Nevada, weekly or extended-stay hotels operate under a unique set of rules that blend elements of both tenant-landlord law and hotel regulations. Generally, if you are staying in a weekly hotel, your relationship with the property is more akin to that of a hotel guest rather than a traditional tenant.

This means that the hotel's policies, which are often outlined in the terms you agreed to when you checked in, usually govern your stay. If the policy states that rent is due by a certain time and you’re late, the hotel may have the right to lock you out, as they have more flexibility compared to a traditional landlord. However, this can vary depending on the specific circumstances and the hotel's policies.

If you find yourself locked out, it's important to review any agreement or terms you signed when you first rented the room. You may also want to speak with the hotel management to try and resolve the situation quickly.

If you believe your rights have been violated or need assistance understanding your options, it may be helpful to consult with an attorney. You can contact our office at 702-979-1455 for more personalized advice on your situation.
