What it is and who needs it.
What the tenant lease bond actually covers
Instead of handing your landlord a cash security deposit, Nevada lets you purchase a surety bond in lieu of the deposit under NRS 118A.242 — if the landlord consents. The bond secures your obligation to pay rent and repair damage beyond normal wear and tear, the same things a deposit would cover.
It is your option, not the landlord’s. A landlord may not require you to buy a bond instead of paying a deposit, and is not required to accept one — it only works when both sides agree. The landlord also can’t take a deposit and a bond together (plus last month’s rent) whose total exceeds three months’ periodic rent.
It is a guarantee, not insurance for you — if the surety pays the landlord for unpaid rent or damage, you repay the surety. If you dispute the landlord’s itemized accounting in writing within 30 days, the surety won’t report the claim to a credit bureau unless it obtains a judgment. We price the bond from $100, with one soft credit pull that never affects your score.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
E-sign & give it to your landlord. Pay online and receive the executed bond, ready to give your landlord in place of the deposit. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
