HOA disputes in Nevada.
Nevada regulates homeowners associations in detail under NRS Chapter 116, and requires most disputes to go through a state process before court. These guides explain the common problems and the options, with the statutes that apply. We serve owners and residents throughout the state, including Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, and Reno.
Problems
Start with what went wrong.
Fines and violation notices
You were cited or fined, and the process did not look right.
Selective enforcement
The rule is enforced against you but not against others.
Rules the board had no power to make
The board adopted or enforced a rule the governing documents do not support.
Architectural denials and unapproved changes
Your project was denied, ignored, or cited after the fact.
Failure to maintain common areas
The association will not repair what it is responsible for.
Denied access to records
You asked to see the books and were refused or ignored.
Breach of fiduciary duty
The board is not acting in the community's interest.
Misuse of HOA funds
Money is unaccounted for or being spent improperly.
Harassment and retaliation
You are being targeted for speaking up.
Discrimination and fair housing
You are treated differently, or denied an accommodation.
Assessments and collections
You are behind, or disputing what the association says you owe.
Options
Then see which paths fit.
Demand, state filing, and mediation
Our core fixed-fee service: file review, a demand to the association, the state filing, and mediation.
State mediation and the referee program
The step Nevada requires before most HOA lawsuits. What it is, what it costs, and what follows.
Complaint to the Real Estate Division
For violations of the HOA statute itself: records, meetings, elections, fine procedure, board conduct.
Violation hearings
Your rights at the hearing before a fine, and how to prepare.
Court
For disputes that were not resolved at mediation and are strong on the documents.
Free case review
Send us the notice and the documents. We will tell you where you stand.
Tell us the facts once, in writing, and attach your governing documents. We review them before anyone gets on the phone, so the conversation is about your options.
