NRS 113.150  Remedies for seller’s delayed disclosure or nondisclosure of defects in property; waiver.

      1.  If a seller or the seller’s agent fails to serve a completed disclosure form in accordance with the requirements of NRS 113.130, the purchaser may, at any time before the conveyance of the property to the purchaser, rescind the agreement to purchase the property without any penalties.

      2.  If, before the conveyance of the property to the purchaser, a seller or the seller’s agent informs the purchaser or the purchaser’s agent, through the disclosure form or another written notice, of a defect in the property of which the cost of repair or replacement was not limited by provisions in the agreement to purchase the property, the purchaser may:

      (a) Rescind the agreement to purchase the property at any time before the conveyance of the property to the purchaser; or

      (b) Close escrow and accept the property with the defect as revealed by the seller or the seller’s agent without further recourse.

      3.  Rescission of an agreement pursuant to subsection 2 is effective only if made in writing, notarized and served not later than 4 working days after the date on which the purchaser is informed of the defect:

      (a) On the holder of any escrow opened for the conveyance; or

      (b) If an escrow has not been opened for the conveyance, on the seller or the seller’s agent.

      4.  Except as otherwise provided in subsection 5, if a seller conveys residential property to a purchaser without complying with the requirements of NRS 113.130 or otherwise providing the purchaser or the purchaser’s agent with written notice of all defects in the property of which the seller is aware, and there is a defect in the property of which the seller was aware before the property was conveyed to the purchaser and of which the cost of repair or replacement was not limited by provisions in the agreement to purchase the property, the purchaser is entitled to recover from the seller treble the amount necessary to repair or replace the defective part of the property, together with court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees. An action to enforce the provisions of this subsection must be commenced not later than 1 year after the purchaser discovers or reasonably should have discovered the defect or 2 years after the conveyance of the property to the purchaser, whichever occurs later.

      5.  A purchaser may not recover damages from a seller pursuant to subsection 4 on the basis of an error or omission in the disclosure form that was caused by the seller’s reliance upon information provided to the seller by:

      (a) An officer or employee of this State or any political subdivision of this State in the ordinary course of his or her duties; or

      (b) A contractor, engineer, land surveyor, certified inspector as defined in NRS 645D.040 or pesticide applicator, who was authorized to practice that profession in this State at the time the information was provided.

      6.  A purchaser of residential property may waive any of his or her rights under this section. Any such waiver is effective only if it is made in a written document that is signed by the purchaser and notarized.
