Like a lot of renters here in Nevada, we found out the rental home that we are leasing was in default by a notice posted on our front door.

The landlord agreed to let us stay here (our lease expired so we went on a month to month because of the situation) until he got this issue resolved. The house has been in short sale since May.

I came out one morning last week and we had a 30 day notice to move, which I know is within his right on a month to month lease. When we called the landlord he said he wants us to move because he feels the house would sell faster if it was empty. We have always been available to have the house shown within 24 hours when we were notified so we feel we have complied and been reasonable on all the expectations, even continuing to pay rent when we know he wasn't making the house payment. Yes, I know we are legally required too, but morally and ethically, it annoyed us, I must admit.

I've done some checking and found out our home is in the "Foreclosure Mediation Program of Nevada". After checking into this, everything I have seen says that in order for the property to be in mediation, it must be owner occupied. His personal home is not in foreclosure and he let the 3rd home (another rental) he owned be foreclosed upon.

Is this legal? I haven't found anything to contradict the owner occupied status. Anyone know about this?

Thanks in advance.

We had considered it, but my husband is in Construction and has been out of work for the last 6 months. He has been offered a job in California on a project that starts in October, so we will be leaving Nevada anyway in October.
