Statute

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 118A.210(4)

Nevada caps residential late fees at 5% of the monthly rent under Nev. Rev. Stat. § 118A.210(4). A lease can agree to less, but a fee above the statutory limit is generally unenforceable no matter what the lease says.

Timing matters as much as the amount: rent must be at least 3 days past due before a late fee can be assessed. A fee charged inside that window isn't collectible in Nevada, even when the lease provides for it.

Nevada caps the fee at 5% of the periodic rent, and for any tenancy longer than week-to-week no fee may be imposed until at least three calendar days after the due date. The maximum can't be inflated by stacking previously imposed late fees.
