property. (b) In case of other personal property, by posting a similar notice in three public

places of the township or city where the sale is to take place, not less than 5 or

more than 10 days before the sale, and, in case of sale on execution issuing out of

a district court, by the publication of a copy of the notice in a newspaper, if there

is one in the county, at least twice, the first publication being not less than 10

days before the date of the sale. (c) In case of real property, by: (1) Personal service upon each judgment debtor or by registered mail to the last known

address of each judgment debtor and, if the property of the judgment debtor is operated

as a facility licensed under chapter 449 of NRS , upon the State Board of Health; (2) Posting a similar notice particularly describing the property, for 20 days successively,

in three public places of the township or city where the property is situated and

where the property is to be sold; (3) Publishing a copy of the notice three times, once each week, for 3 successive

weeks, in a newspaper, if there is one in the county. The cost of publication must not exceed the rate for legal advertising as provided

in NRS 238.070 . If the newspaper authorized by this section to publish the notice of sale neglects

or refuses from any cause to make the publication, then the posting of notices as

$500, exclusive of costs, must be given only by posting in three public places in

the county, one of which must be the courthouse; (4) Recording a copy of the notice in the office of the county recorder; (5) If the sale of property is a residential foreclosure, posting a copy of the notice

in a conspicuous place on the property. In addition to the requirements of NRS 21.140 , the notice must not be defaced or removed until the transfer of title is recorded

or the property becomes occupied after completion of the sale, whichever is earlier;

and (6) In the case of a foreclosure sale, depositing in the United States mail an envelope,

registered or certified, return receipt requested and with postage prepaid, containing

a copy of the notice, addressed to: (I) Each person who, in accordance with subsection 1 of NRS 107.090 , has recorded a request for a copy of a notice of default or notice of sale with

respect to the mortgage or other lien being foreclosed; (II) Each other person with an interest in the real property whose interest or claimed

interest is subordinate to the mortgage or other lien being foreclosed; and (III) An association that, pursuant to subsection 4 of NRS 107.090 , has recorded a request for a copy of the deed upon a foreclosure sale. 2. If the sale of property is a residential foreclosure, the notice must include,

without limitation: (a) The physical address of the property; and (b) The contact information of the party who is authorized to provide information

relating to the foreclosure status of the property. 3. If the sale of property is a residential foreclosure, a separate notice must be

posted in a conspicuous place on the property and mailed, with a certificate of mailing

issued by the United States Postal Service or another mail delivery service, to any

tenant or subtenant, if any, other than the judgment debtor, in actual occupation

of the premises not later than 3 business days after the notice of the sale is given

pursuant to subsection 1. The separate notice must be in substantially the following form: NOTICE TO TENANTS OF THE PROPERTY Foreclosure proceedings against this property have started, and a notice of sale of

the property to the highest bidder has been issued. You may either: (1) terminate your lease or rental agreement and move out; or (2)

remain and possibly be subject to eviction proceedings under chapter 40 of the Nevada

Revised Statutes. Any subtenants may also be subject to eviction proceedings. Between now and the date of the sale, you may be evicted if you fail to pay rent or

live up to your other obligations to the landlord. After the date of the sale, you may be evicted if you fail to pay rent or live up

to your other obligations to the successful bidder, in accordance with chapter 118A of the Nevada Revised Statutes . Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, eviction proceedings may begin against you after

you have been given a notice to surrender. If the property is sold and you pay rent by the week or another period of time that

is shorter than 1 month, you should generally receive notice after not less than the

number of days in that period of time. If the property is sold and you pay rent by the month or any other period of time

that is 1 month or longer, you should generally receive notice at least 60 days in

advance. Under Nevada Revised Statutes 40.280 , notice must generally be served on you pursuant to chapter 40 of the Nevada Revised

Statutes. If the property is sold and a landlord, successful bidder or subsequent purchaser

files an eviction action against you in court, you will be served with a summons and

complaint and have the opportunity to respond. Eviction actions may result in temporary evictions, permanent evictions, the awarding

of damages pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 40.360 or some combination of those results. Under the Justice Court Rules of Civil Procedure: (1) You will be given at least 10 days to answer a summons and complaint; (2) If you do not file an answer, an order evicting you by default may be obtained

against you; (3) A hearing regarding a temporary eviction may be called as soon as 11 days after

you are served with the summons and complaint; and (4) A hearing regarding a permanent eviction may be called as soon as 20 days after

you are served with the summons and complaint. 4. The sheriff shall not conduct a sale of the property on execution or deliver the

judgment debtor's property to the judgment creditor if the judgment debtor or any

other person entitled to notice has not been properly notified as required in this

section and NRS 21.075 and 21.076 . 5. As used in this section: (a) “Foreclosure sale” means the sale of real property pursuant to NRS 40.430 .
