EXHIBIT “1”
Tenant is 58 year old gay black man who recently feel ill. He has lived in the unit for over three

years and has always paid his rent. .On March 7, 2023. Tenant was completely devastated with

the news that his illness has been caused by rectal cancer. On the same day, he received an

eviction notice on his door after returning from his doctor’s office.

Tenant has applied for rental assistance with the Washoe Affordable Housing Corporation’s

Homeless Prevention Program. (See Exhibit B) Tenant is a perfect candidate for this program.

If he is locked out he will no longer qualify for this program’s assistance which he so desperately

needs

AB486 states in relevant part:

Sec. 2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law: 1. In any designated eviction


proceeding, the tenant may, at any point in the proceeding, claim as an affirmative
defense that: (a) The tenant has a pending application for rental assistance;
...
2. If an affirmative defense described in subsection 1 is asserted by the tenant: (a) Except
as otherwise provided in subsection 6, the court shall stay the designated eviction
proceeding until the applicable time described in subsection 4. (Emphasis added.)

Tenant has nowhere to go an is not able to work. Locking him out of his home and forcing him

to live on the street will cause him irreparable harm and/or death. He cannot withstand the

elements in his condition.

Furthermore, Tenant presented Landlord with an offer of payment which Landlord refused.

Attached hereto as Exhibit 3 is Tenant’s proposed Affidavit of Tenant. Tenant requests leave to

file same should this motion be granted under the law.

Based on the above, Tenant prays that this Court grant this motion, file his Affidavit of Tenant

and set a hearing in this matter so that Tenant can stay home and convalesce,

3. I received a notice stating that I owe rent. I assert the following defenses to the notice: (check all that apply):
14
a. I have a pending application for rental assistance with (state the name of the entity where you applied)
15 Washoe
Type Afffordable Housing Homeless Prevention Program
text here
______________________________________________________________________.
16
b. Landlord refused to participate in my application process for rental assistance.
17 c. I was granted rental assistance, but the Landlord refused to accept rental assistance on my behalf.
18 d. I paid my rent in full.
19 e. I presented payment of my rent in full, but Landlord refused to accept it.

20 f. Landlord accepted partial payment of my rent.

21 g. The amount Landlord is demanding in the notice includes costs or fees that are not periodic rent

22
h. Landlord is charging an unreasonable late fee, or a late fee that exceeds 5% of the amount of the
23 periodic rent.

24 i. (To raise this defense you must deposit your rent into the court’s rent escrow account.) I gave
Landlord written notice describing Landlord’s failure to maintain my rental unit in a habitable
25 condition. Landlord did not fix, or make a reasonable effort to fix, the habitability problem within
14 days after my notice. Therefore, I am withholding payment of rent.
26

27

28

(Rev. 1/9/23)
j. (To raise this defense your rent must have been current at the time you gave written notice to
1 Landlord.) I gave Landlord written notice of an “essential services” problem at my rental unit (heat,
air conditioning, running or hot water, electricity, gas, a working door lock, or other essential item or
2 service). Landlord did not fix, or make a reasonable effort to fix, the problem within 48 hours after
my notice. Therefore, I am withholding payment of rent.
3
k. I corrected a habitability problem at my rental unit and am deducting the cost from my rent after
4 giving Landlord an itemized statement. I gave Landlord written notice of the habitability problem
and stated my intention to repair. Landlord did not fix the problem within 14 days after my notice.
5
l. Landlord's notice to me did not comply with Nevada law because it:
6 i. Was not served on me as required by NRS 40.280;
ii. Did not identify the court that has jurisdiction over this case;
7 iii. Did not notify me of my right to contest this matter by filing an affidavit with the court;
iv. Did not notify me that the court may issue a summary order for my removal directing the
sheriff or constable to post the order in a conspicuous place on the premises not later than 24
8
hours after the order is received by the sheriff or constable, and that the sheriff or constable
shall remove the tenant not earlier than 24 hours but not later than 36 hours after the posting of
9 the order;
v. Did not notify me of my right to seek expedited relief if Landlord unlawfully removes or
10 excludes me from the premises or interrupts an essential service;
vi. Did not advise me of the availability of rental assistance; my right to assert an affirmative
11 defense if I have a pending application for rental assistance or if my landlord has refused to
participate or accept rental assistance, and my right to a stay if I assert that defense; my right to
12 file a claim for wrongful eviction if my landlord tries to evict me after receiving rental
assistance for any reason that existed during the period of default; or my right to a stay for
13 mediation.

14 m. Landlord is discriminating against me in violation of the Federal Fair Housing Act and/or
Nevada laws.
15
n. Landlord is retaliating against me for having engaged in certain protected acts, and Landlord is in
16 violation of NRS 118A.510.

17 o. I am a tenant on property that has been foreclosed upon and sold. The new owner:
i. Failed to serve me with the notice of change of ownership required by NRS 40.255(2);
18 ii. Is violating NRS 40.255 by failing or refusing to grant me an additional 60 days on the
property;
19 iii. Is attempting to use the summary eviction procedure in violation of NRS 40.255(1), which
requires the new owner to use the formal unlawful detainer procedure under NRS 40.290 to
40.420.
20
Other defense (explain below).
