What is 'rent control' and does Nevada have it?

CNevada allows rent control in Clark County but not other counties
DRent control in Nevada applies only to properties built before 1970
Explanation
Nevada has a state preemption law prohibiting local governments from enacting rent control ordinances (NRS 118B). Nevada landlords may increase rent to market rates, subject to proper notice requirements (NRS 118A). This distinguishes Nevada from states like California or New York where rent stabilization is common. The lack of rent control in Nevada affects property investment returns and tenant affordability, particularly in the Las Vegas and Reno markets where rents have increased significantly.
