IF YOU FAIL to pay rent or vacate the premises before close of business on the seventh (7th) judicial day following the Date of Service of this Notice, your landlord may apply for an eviction order at the Sparks Justice Court. If the Court determines that tenant(s) is/are guilty of an unlawful detainer, the Court may issue a summary order for removal from the premises or an order providing for the non-admittance of the tenant(s). The Sheriff may then remove you not earlier than 24 hours, but no later than 36 hours, after posting the Order. Pursuant to NRS 70.010 subsection 2, you may request that the Court stay the execution of the order for a period of not more than ten days by stating the reasons why a stay is warranted. Pursuant to NRS 118A.390, you may seek relief if a landlord unlawfully removes you from the premises, excludes you by blocking or attempting to block your entry upon the premises, or willfully interrupts or causes or permits the interruption of an essential service required by the rental agreement or NRS Chapter 118A.
