Nevada Homeowners Bill of Rights

Current as of 8/25/23

The Nevada Homeowner Bill of Rights is a set of laws that protect homeowners in Nevada. It was passed in 2019 and applies to all residential mortgages, including mortgages on single-family homes, condos, and townhouses.

 

The Homeowner Bill of Rights includes the following provisions:

 

  • Right to a timely response from your lender. If you have a question or problem with your mortgage, your lender must respond to you within 15 days.
  • Right to a clear and concise explanation of your mortgage terms. Your lender must provide you with a clear and concise explanation of your mortgage terms, including the interest rate, monthly payment, and any fees.
  • Right to a free copy of your mortgage documents. You have the right to a free copy of your mortgage documents, including the promissory note and mortgage.
  • Right to a fair and impartial evaluation of your loan modification application. If you apply for a loan modification, your lender must evaluate your application fairly and impartially.
  • Right to a foreclosure mediation hearing. If you are facing foreclosure, you have the right to a foreclosure mediation hearing. This is a chance for you and your lender to try to reach an agreement to avoid foreclosure.
  • Right to a 30-day notice before foreclosure. Your lender must give you at least 30 days’ notice before they can foreclose on your home.
  • Right to a right of redemption after foreclosure. If your home is foreclosed on, you may have the right to redeem it within a certain period of time. This means that you can buy back your home from the lender.

 

The Homeowner Bill of Rights is a valuable resource for homeowners in Nevada. If you are facing a problem with your mortgage, you should be aware of your rights under this law.

 

Here are some additional things to keep in mind about the Nevada Homeowner Bill of Rights:

 

  • The law applies to all residential mortgages, including mortgages on single-family homes, condos, and townhouses.
  • The law does not apply to commercial mortgages or mortgages on second homes.
