Full text of Nevada Nevada Revised Statutes § 40.290 — Parties defendant; persons bound by judgment, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 40.290. Parties defendant; persons bound by judgment
No person other than the tenant of the premises and the subtenant, if there be one,
in actual occupation of the premises when the action is commenced, need be made parties
defendant in the proceeding, nor shall any proceeding abate nor the plaintiff be nonsuited
for the nonjoinder of any person who might have been made a party defendant; but
when it appears that any of the parties served with process or appearing in the proceeding
is guilty of the offense charged, judgment must be rendered against the party. In case a person has become subtenant of the premises in controversy after the service
of any notice in this chapter provided for, the fact that such notice was not served
on such subtenant shall constitute no defense to the action. All persons who enter under the tenant, after the commencement of the action hereunder,
shall be bound by the judgment the same as if they had been made parties to the action.
