NV Mediation + NOD

Nevada Foreclosure: Non-Judicial + HB 356 Mediation

Nevada uses non-judicial foreclosure with the NOD/NTS process. Key protections: the HB 356 mediation program for owner-occupied homes and NRS 107.086 requirements forcing the lender to produce the original note.

Why Mediation & Acting Before the Sale Matter

Because Nevada's foreclosure is non-judicial, there is no summons to answer. Instead, your leverage comes from acting during the 90-day NOD window and requesting HB 356 mediation — which forces the lender to sit down and participate. When mediation fails or isn't available, a civil lawsuit in District Court can stop the sale and raise defenses.
