AAn eviction process requiring only the landlord's sworn statement

Explanation

Nevada's summary eviction (unlawful detainer) process under NRS 40.253 provides a faster court process for residential evictions, typically for nonpayment or lease violations. After proper notices, the landlord files with the justice court. The tenant has a short time (often 5–7 days) to respond or appear.
