Definition Of A Legal Notice ...
-
NRS 238.010-Legal notice and legal advertisement defined ... Any notice or other written matter whatsoever, required to be published in a newspaper by any law of this state, or by the order of any court of record in this state, shall be deemed and held to be a legal notice or advertisement.
Definition of a qualified newspaper ...
-
NRS 238.030 - Publication of legal notice or advertisement only in qualified newspaper of general circulation; exceptions;
1. Any and all legal notices or advertisements shall be published only in a daily, a triweekly, a semiweekly, a semimonthly, or a weekly newspaper of general circulation and printed in whole or in part in the county in which the notice or advertisement is required to be published, which newspaper if published:
(a) Triweekly, semiweekly, semimonthly, or weekly, shall have been so published in the county, continuously and uninterruptedly, during the period of at least 104 consecutive weeks next prior to the first issue thereof containing any such notice or advertisement.
(b) Daily, shall have been so published in the county, uninterruptedly and continuously, during the period of at least 1 year next prior to the first issue thereof containing any such notice or advertisement.
2. The mere change in the name of any newspaper, or the removal of the principal business office or seat of publication of any newspaper from one place to another in the same county shall not break or affect the continuity in the publication of any such newspaper if the same is in fact continuously and uninterruptedly printed and published within the county as herein provided.
3. A newspaper shall not lose its rights as a legal publication if any of the following conditions maintain:
(a) If by reason of a strike or other good cause it should suspend publication; but the period shall not exceed 30 days in any calendar year.
(b) If by reason of generally recognized economic stress of a serious nature over which the publisher has no control it shall be necessary to suspend publication for a period not to exceed 2 years. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply only in the case of publications that have been operating continuously for a period of 5 years prior to such suspension. Any legal notice which fails of publication for the required number of insertions for such reason shall not been declared illegal if publication has been made in one issue of the publication and is resumed within a reasonable period.
4. If in any county in this state there shall not have been published therein any newspaper or newspapers for the prescribed period, at the time when any such notice or advertisement is required to be published, then such notice or advertisement may be published in any newspaper or newspapers having a general circulation and printed and published in whole or in part in the county.
5. The time limitations in subsection 1 do not apply to a newly established newspaper printed and published in:
(a) An incorporated city if, at the time such newspaper is established, there is no other newspaper printed and published in such city.
(b) A county if, at the time such newspaper is established, there is no other newspaper printed and published in such county.
NRS 238.040 - Second-class mailing permit required for qualification (Note: A second-class mailing permit is now called a Periodicals permit under a change made by the U.S. Postal Service.)
After December 31, 1954, no newspaper is competent as the means for the publication of any legal notice or advertisement unless the newspaper possesses and maintains in force a valid second-class mailing permit issued by the United States Postal Service.
NRS 238.050 - Newspapers equally competent as means for publication
Except as otherwise provided by law in express terms or by necessary implication, daily newspapers, triweekly newspapers, semiweekly newspapers, semimonthly newspapers and weekly newspapers shall all be equally competent as the means for the publication of all legal notices and advertisements.
Nevada court cases on qualified newspapers
To meet the test of general circulation, a newspaper must publish some news of general interest and circulate to the general public. Under NRS 238.030, which provides for publication of legal notices in a newspaper "of general circulation," a daily newspaper which contained only information taken from public records did not qualify because primary purpose of printing legal notices is to give widest publicity practicable, and a newspaper, in order to meet test of general circulation, must publish some news of general interest and circulate to some extent among general public. Nevada State Press Association v. Fax. Inc., 79 Nev. 82, 378 P.2d 674 (1963).
Preliminary work done within the county before printing legal notices in newspaper outside the county met the test of being "printed in whole or in part" within the county. Under NRS 238.030, which provides for publication of legal notices in a newspaper "printed in whole or in part in the county in which the notice or advertisement is required to be published," the newspaper duplicated outside such county did qualify because some typesetting, work on headlines and pictures and preparation of page layouts took place in the county. Butler v. Lahontan Valley News, 91 Nev. 421, 537 P.2d 320 (1975)
Rates and size of type ...
-
NRS 238.070 - Rates and size of type for official advertising of state and counties; annual contracts for county printing and advertising
1. All advertising ordered or required by the State of Nevada or by the respective counties of the state must be paid for by the state or the county ordering or requiring the advertising at a rate that does not exceed:
(a) The published open display rate for advertising, if the advertisement is placed in a daily or weekly newspaper with a circulation of 15,000 or less; or
(b) The published rate for advertising by a nonprofit or charitable organization, if the advertisement is placed in a daily or weekly newspaper with a circulation of more than 15,000.
2. The type size for advertising ordered or required by the State of Nevada or a county must be no smaller than that used by the newspaper in the columns of classified advertisements.
3. Nothing contained in this section prohibits boards of county commissioners from entering into annual contracts for the entire official printing and advertising of their respective counties when a saving of public money will be effected thereby.
Liens, Foreclosures, Trustee Sales - Notice of sale under execution
-

You may either: (1) terminate your lease or rental agreement and move out; or (2) remain and possibly be subject to eviction proceedings under chapter 40 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Any subtenants may also be subject to eviction proceedings.

After the date of the sale, you may be evicted if you fail to pay rent or live up to your other obligations to the successful bidder, in accordance with chapter 118A of the Nevada Revised Statutes.
Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, eviction proceedings may begin against you after you have been given a notice to quit.

If the property is sold and you pay rent by the month or any other period of time that is 1 month or longer, you should generally receive notice at least 60 days in advance.
