    2. To either perform the condition in the lease (if it can be performed) or to move.

The 5-day “Unlawful Detainer” Notice should inform the tenant:

    1. That the tenant may oppose the notice by filing an Answer/Affidavit; and
    2. Which court the tenant may file their Answer/Affidavit

Responding to the Notice

    2. Move; or
    3. Wait for the 5-day Unlawful Detainer Notice

Upon receipt of the 5-day Unlawful Detainer Notice, the tenant may, no later than noon of the fifth full judicial day following the day of service:

    1. Move;
    2. File an Answer with the Justice Court that is referenced in the notice; or
    3. File a Motion to Stay in which you ask that the court delay the eviction for up to 10 days pursuant to NRS 70.010.  Please note, you may file this Motion to Stay instead of filing an Answer or may file a Motion to Stay after the eviction order is entered.
