Kevin Sigstad: SB256 is bad for Nevada homeowners and tenants

Fortunately, it’s rare for Nevada lawmakers to propose a bill that could do considerable harm to homeowners and tenants alike. But SB256 is one such bill. Introduced by state Sen. Yvanna Cancela, D-Las Vegas, SB256 was the subject of a March 22 hearing by the Senate Commerce and Labor Committee. As leaders from Nevada Realtors and others told lawmakers, this bill would egregiously damage Nevada’s hard-working families who rent from Nevada’s homeowners.
