Existing law requires a landlord to maintain a dwelling unit in a habitable condition at all times during the tenancy of that dwelling unit. (NRS 118A.290) This bill prohibits a landlord from requiring a tenant to pay any fee or other charge for the performance of any repairs, maintenance tasks or other work for which the landlord has a duty to perform to maintain the habitability of the dwelling unit. This bill provides an exception from that prohibition for any fee or other charge for the performance of any repairs, maintenance tasks or other work necessary for a condition caused by a deliberate or negligent act or omission by the tenant, a member of the tenant's household or a person who has the consent of the tenant to be on the premises.
