ue the plaintiff by reason of waste of the premises by the defendant during the tenancy, alleged in the complaint and proved on the trial, and find the amount of any rent due, if the alleged unlawful detainer be after default in the payment of rent; and the judgment shall be rendered against the defendant guilty of the forcible entry, or forcible or unlawful detainer, for the rent and for three times the amount of the damages thus assessed. 3. Execution and enforcement. When the proceeding is for an unlawful detainer after default in the payment of the rent, and the lease or agreement under which the rent is payable has not by its terms expired, execution upon the judgment shall not be issued until the expiration of 5 days after the entry of the judgment, within which time the tenant, or any subtenant, or any mortgagee of the term, or other party interested in its continuance, may pay into court for the landlord the amount of the judgment and costs, and thereupon the judgment shall be satisfied and the tenant be restored to his estate; but, if payment, as herein provided, be not made within the 5 days, the judgment may be enforced for its full amount and for the possession of the premises. In all other cases the judgment may be enforced immediately. [1911 CPA § 657; RL § 5599; NCL § 9146] NRS 40.370 Verification of complaint and answer. The complaint and answer must be verified. [1911 CPA § 658; RL § 5600; NCL § 9147] NRS 40.380 Provisions governing appeals. Either party may, within 10 days, appeal from the judgment rendered. But an appeal by the defendant shall not stay the execution of the judgment, unless, within the 10 days, he shall execute and file with the court or justice his undertaking to the plaintiff, with two or more sureties, in an amount to be fixed by the court or justice, but which shall not be less than twice the amount of the judgment and costs, to the effect that, if the judgment appealed from be affirmed or the appeal be dismissed, the appellant will pay the judgment and the cost of appeal, the value of the use and occupation of the property, and damages justly accruing to the plaintiff during the pendency of the appeal. Upon taking the appeal and filing the undertaking, all further proceedings in the case shall be stayed. [1911 CPA § 659; RL § 5601; NCL § 9148] NRS 40.385 Stay of execution upon appeal; duty of tenant who retains possession of premises to pay rent during stay. Upon an appeal from an order entered pursuant to NRS 40.253: 1. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, a stay of execution may be obtained by filing with the trial court a bond in the amount of $250 to cover the expected costs on appeal. In an action concerning a lease of commercial property or any other property for which the monthly rent exceeds $1,000, the court may, upon its own motion or that of a party, and upon a showing of good cause, order an additional bond to be posted to cover the expected costs on appeal. A surety upon the bond submits to the jurisdiction of the appellate court and irrevocably appoints the clerk of that court as his agent upon whom papers affecting his liability upon the bond may be served. Liability of a surety may be enforced, or the bond may be released, on motion in the appellate court without independent action. 2. A tenant who retains possession of the premises that are the subject of the appeal during the pendency of the appeal shall pay to the landlord rent in the amount provided in the underlying contract between the tenant and the landlord as it becomes due. If the tenant fails to pay such rent, the landlord may initiate new proceedings for a summary eviction by serving the tenant with a new notice pursuant to NRS 40.253. (Added to NRS by 1997, 3510) NRS 40.390 Appellate court not to dismiss or quash proceedings for want of form. In all cases of appeal under NRS 40.220 to 40.420, inclusive, the appellate court shall not dismiss or quash the proceedings for want of form, provided the proceedings have been conducted substantially according to the provisions of NRS 40.220 to 40.420, inclusive; and amendments to the complaint, answer or summons, in matters of form only, may be allowed by the court at any time before final judgment upon such terms as may be just; and all matters of excuse, justification or avoidance of the allegations in the complaint may be given in evidence under the answer. [1911 CPA § 660; RL § 5602; NCL § 9149] NRS 40.400 Rules of practice. The provisions of NRS, Nevada Rules of Civil Procedure and Nevada Rules of Appellate Procedure relative to civil actions, appeals and new trials, so far as they are not inconsistent with the provisions of NRS 40.220 to 40.420, inclusive, apply to the proceedings mentioned in those sections.

Given under my hand, this ........ day of ........, A.D. ..... E.F., justice of the peace. 2. The sheriff or constable shall execute the writ in the same manner as required by the provisions of chapter 21 of NRS for writs of execution. [1911 CPA § 663; RL § 5605; NCL § 9152]—(NRS A 1969, 264; 1989, 1144) NRS 40.425 Notice of execution on writ of restitution. 1. Execution on the writ of restitution may occur only if the sheriff serves the judgment debtor with notice of the execution and a copy of the writ in the manner described in NRS 21.076. The notice must describe the types of property exempt from execution and explain the procedure for claiming those exemptions. The clerk of the court shall attach the notice to the writ at the time the writ is issued. 2.
