Nevada lets a renter post a surety bond in lieu of a security deposit under NRS 118A.242, if the landlord consents. The bond secures your rent and damage obligations under the lease — we issue it at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull that never affects your score.
















Your move-in is waiting on this bond. Here's the whole thing — no broker phone tag:
Your details, the property, the bond amount, and an effective date. The only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Pay online and receive the executed bond, ready to give your landlord in place of the deposit. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. A $2,000 bond lands at the $275 minimum; a $10,000 bond runs $300.
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.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
