Is a seasonal guest a tenant in Nevada?

Nevada draws a clear line at three months. A lot rented for an RV for 3 months or more counts as a 'manufactured home lot,' and a park is a 'manufactured home park' unless more than half its lots are rented overnight or for less than 3 months to RVs (NRS 118B.016-.017). NRS 118B.020 excludes from the chapter any lot rented overnight or for less than 3 months and any RV on such a lot. Chapter 118A excludes rental agreements governed by 118B and hotel/motel stays under 30 days but does not mention RV parks by name.

What that means for notices and removal

Seasonal RV sites rented for 3+ months in a park that is majority long-term are subject to NRS 118B's tenant protections (written rental agreement, limited grounds for termination, and the long notice periods in NRS 118B.190-.200, e.g., 45 days for most terminations). Sites rented for less than 3 months are outside 118B; if 118A applies, its notice and summary-eviction rules govern. Predominantly short-term parks are outside 118B even for their longer stays.

Sub-metering electricity to RV sites in Nevada

For parks covered by NRS 118B, the landlord may not charge tenants any fee or surcharge that exceeds the landlord's own cost for a governmentally mandated service (NRS 118B.150) and must post or provide utility-bill information (NRS 118B.155). No Nevada statute or PUCN rule specifically authorizing or capping RV-park resale of electricity for short-term sites was found; confirm with NV Energy or your utility.

Sales and lodging tax on seasonal sites in Nevada

Nevada has no state lodging tax; transient lodging (room) taxes are imposed by counties and cities under NRS 244.335/244.3352 and 268.096, and each ordinance sets whether RV spaces are covered and the permanent-resident exemption (commonly after 28 or 30 consecutive days, e.g., North Las Vegas exempts stays after 30 days of continuous occupancy). Check your county's ordinance for RV-park treatment.

Signing agreements online in Nevada

Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Electronic signatures are valid for seasonal site agreements when the guest agrees to sign electronically, intends to sign, and the record is kept in a form that can be reproduced and shown not to have changed. Seasonal Sites records the signer’s typed name, email, time, IP address and a SHA-256 fingerprint of the exact text signed, and stores the signed PDF.

Clauses to include in a Nevada seasonal agreement

These are added on top of the eleven sections in the free template. Adjust the bracketed parts and have a local attorney read the result.

Recreational use, not a residence"The Site is licensed for recreational use only. The Guest maintains a permanent residence elsewhere at the address above, and the Site is not the Guest’s primary residence. Nothing in this agreement creates a residential tenancy." In this state the line between a recreational guest and a residential tenant is what decides which removal process applies, so say it plainly and keep the guest’s home address on file.
Notice periodMatch the notice periods in your termination section to the ones the state uses (45-day notice appears in the rules summarized above) rather than inventing shorter ones; a shorter contractual notice is not enforceable where the statute sets a floor.
Metered electricityBill metered electricity at your actual utility cost and say so in the agreement; where a state or utility tariff speaks to resale, at-cost pass-through is the safe harbor everywhere we looked.
Term length and taxState the exact term dates and that the agreement is for a continuous stay of 30 days or more, and keep the signed copy with the term on it — where the summary above shows a long-stay exemption, that document is usually what the auditor asks for.
Electronic signature consent"The Guest consents to sign this agreement electronically and to receive invoices, receipts and notices by email at the address above." Keep the signer name, email, date/time, IP address and a fingerprint of the signed text.

Or skip the paperwork entirely

Seasonal Sites takes this same agreement, fills in each guest’s name, site, rate and dates, emails them a link to sign on their phone, puts the installments on autopay, bills metered electric from your readings, and keeps the signed PDF with the audit record. Renewals for the whole park go out in one click. It works beside whatever reservation system you already use.
