What is the process of suing in a Nevada civil court for unpaid rent?

Asked over 3 years ago - Fallon, NV

I want to sue my daughter's ex-boyfriend for unpaid rent. He lived w/my daughter for 18 months, 3 years ago in a rental house that I own. We had a verbal agreement that he would put rent money towards down payment on a house they were going to buy together. He did not do so. Six months after they moved into a new house (w/no down) he cheated on her and they split up. He has acknowledged in child custody papers that 1. he lived in my house for 18 months and 2. that he did not pay save any of the rent money as agreed. I want to sue him in civil court. He is a cop & thinks he can get away with anything.

A lawsuit for unlawful detainer may be filed if a tenant keeps possession of real property without a right. This includes maintaining occupancy after a lease has expired, after being served with a notice to quit (vacate, leave) for non-payment of rent Check with a lawyer in your locale to discuss more of the details.

Good luck to you.

God bless.
