We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.

Nevada leases, notice, and security deposits
A sale does not by itself end the lease
Unless the buyer and tenant agree to change or end it, the rental agreement continues after the sale. The buyer takes over the landlord’s rights and duties under that agreement. The sale alone does not make the tenant move.
Within 30 days after the sale, the new owner must tell the tenant where to pay rent, that the rental agreement continues, and how much security deposit is being held. See Nevada Revised Statutes §§ 118A.244 and 118A.349.
The security deposit goes with the handoff
For a voluntary sale, the seller transfers the tenant’s remaining security deposit to the buyer before the deed is recorded and gives the tenant written notice of the new landlord’s name, address, phone number, and the deposit transfer. The buyer must accept the deposit and cannot demand a new one during the rental agreement. See Nevada Revised Statutes §§ 118A.244 and 118A.349.
Ending a periodic tenancy is a separate question
To end a week-to-week tenancy, a landlord must give at least 7 days’ notice. To end a month-to-month tenancy, a landlord must give at least 30 days’ notice. A month-to-month tenant who is 60 or older or has a disability can ask in writing for 30 more days. See Nevada Revised Statutes § 40.251.
