Is this the right form for you?
This
21form might be right for you if: You are a tenant who has had (or will have) a summary eviction order issued against you, you have not yet been locked out of
the rental property, and you need to ask the court for some additional time (up to 10 days) to vacate the property.
What
22 you should know before you file:
• Filing fee: The court will charge you a filing fee of $71 if this motion is your first filing in the case. If you’ve already filed something in this case, there is no filing
fee. If you can’t afford the filing fee, you can file an application asking the court to waive it based on your inability to pay.
23
Filing With the Court:
In24
person: Take your completed form to the justice court for the township where the rental property is located.
• If you’re filing your case in the Las Vegas Justice Court, you will not need to make copies, but you will need a valid e-mail address. The court clerk will help you
25electronically file your form. The court will e-mail your filed document to you after processing.
• In all other justice courts (Henderson or North Las Vegas, for example), you’ll need to make at least one additional copy of your form. Give the original and all
copies to the court clerk for filing. The clerk will return the filed copies to you.
26
Online: In the Las Vegas Justice Court, you can file electronically at http://wiznet.wiznet.com/clarknv. You must register for an account, and you must be able to
upload your documents via pdf. There is a $2.50 fee for each document you upload.
27
Finding Out What the Judge Decides:
Monitor the court’s records or call the court to see what the judge decides: Because the judge will decide your motion quickly (one or two days), you MUST NOT
28
depend on the court to notify you of the judge’s decision. Call the court every day or look up your case on the court’s website. But stay on top of it! The judge could
grant you additional time (up to 10 days) to leave the property, but the judge could also deny your motion. If the judge denies your motion, you’ll be locked out
unless you appeal the eviction to the district court. Page 2 of 2 MOTION TO STAY (DELAY) ORDER FOR SUMMARY EVICTION
