Governor Orders Halt to All Evictions

Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak has ordered a halt to all residential and commercial evictions is the state for as long as we are under the coronvirus state of emergency.

“This is not the time to put people out on the street,” said Sisolak, who has issued orders closing schools and nonessential businesses and asked residents to “stay home for Nevada” to prevent spreading the disease.

The order applies to evictions that were already filed before Sisolak declared the state of emergency. The governor said Sunday, his order means landlords cannot place notices on doors or in mailboxes trying to scare tenants into moving out.

The governors order came as the states COVID-19 case number hit 738.
