HOW TO REQUEST AN 8th DISTRICT COURT EVICTION APPEAL

> BACK TO APPEALS

Las Vegas Landlord Eviction wants you to know what to do If you or your Tenant are not happy with the Justice Court decision you or your Tenant can take the following steps.  At this stage, you or your Tenant should have received a decision from the Justice Court.  

If You or your Tenant does NOT agree with Justice Court (lower court) decision, You or your Tenant can file a District Court Eviction Appeal (higher court).  LVL only supports Residential, not Commercial.

NORTH LAS VEGAS, LAS VEGAS and HENDERSON

[ DC Appeal ] If You or your Tenant do NOT agree with Justice Court decision ( District Court Appeal )
An District Court Eviction Appeal is a request by the Tenant to the District Court (higher court) in which the Tenant asks the higher court to cancel the eviction due to an error on the Justice Court (lower court) decision.  No new evidence can be introduced/added to your case.  Tenant only has twenty (20) calendar days from the Justice Court Order to file an appeal to District Court (JCRCP 72B(a).).  
Tenant must also post a $250 bond with the Court Clerk (JCRCP 73.).  The $250 cost bond can NOT be waived with a fee waiver application.

​Try not to get scared, just because a Tenant files a District Court Eviction Appeal does not mean the eviction stops.


This is a two way appeal process.  Landlords can also file if they do not like the Justice Court decision.  It is not just for Tenants or Landlords.
Picture
If tenant has filed a District Court Eviction Appeal, one of the following could happen:
1)  District Court Eviction Appeal is GRANTED.  Judge can deny the eviction and/or schedule a hearing.
2)  District Court Eviction Appeal is DENIED.  Tenant's eviction should continue the very next business day.
3)  If a hearing date and time is scheduled by the court, each party will come to court and plead their case.  Hearings are normally set for 1 to 3 week(s) from the date the Appeal was filed with the court.
