About this bond

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 issue the bond at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull.

NRS 118A.242 (Nevada Landlord & Tenant: Dwellings)NRS 118A.242 lets a tenant, with the landlord’s consent, purchase a surety bond in lieu of all or part of a security deposit, securing the tenant’s obligation to pay rent and repair damage beyond normal wear and tear. A landlord may not require a bond instead of a deposit and is not required to accept one. The total of any deposit and bond (including last month’s rent) may not exceed three months’ periodic rent. The landlord must provide an itemized accounting within 30 days of termination; a tenant disputing it in writing within 30 days limits the surety’s credit-reporting of the claim absent a judgment.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Nevada tenant lease bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The bond amount is whatever your lease requires in place of the deposit, capped (with any deposit and last month’s rent) at three months’ rent. Most renters land at the $275 minimum.
Can my landlord make me buy a bond? +
No. Under NRS 118A.242 a landlord may not require a surety bond in lieu of a deposit, and is not required to accept one. It only works when you choose it and the landlord consents.
Is this the same as my deposit coming back? +
No. The bond is not a deposit you get back — it’s a guarantee. If you pay your rent and leave the unit in good shape, nothing is owed. If the surety has to pay the landlord for unpaid rent or damage, you repay the surety.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It's the only extra step beyond the application, and it informs approval, not price. The rate is a flat 3% either way.
What if I dispute the landlord’s charges? +
If you dispute the landlord’s itemized accounting in writing within 30 days, the surety won’t report the claim to a credit reporting agency unless it obtains a judgment against you. Keep your written dispute and your records.
