Apartment Complex Refused To Renew Lease, Now Being Charged More (nv)

Throwaway account, Location: Nevada.

An LLC took over our (now previous) apartment complex three years ago after we had lived there for seven years, and they instituted annual apartment inspections before renewing any leases. That first year, our family, three people living in a two bed, two bath, we were told our apartment was too "cluttered" and we had to move to a bigger unit if we wanted to stay in those apartments. We moved into a three bed, two bath and thought everything was fine. During the entire ten years we lived there, we never recieved a violation, complaint, and rent was paid on time every month.

Cut to this last year. We get the notice for the annual inspections and make sure our apartment is clean and clutter-free. I was not at home for the actual "inspection" but my son said, "They spent less than fifteen minutes and didn't say anything other than it smelled like cat." We didn't think this would be any kind of a factor, as we paid the pet deposit (more than one as we had two cats when we first moved in, then had paid another deposit for a new cat in Nov. 2025 after the others had passed), as well as the monthly pet rent of $50. We also make it a point to clean the litter every day.

The following week, we are served with a "No Cause Eviction Notice" stating we have 30 days to vacate the unit as the apartments are not renewing our lease. When we called to ask why, we were told they weren't legally obligated to give us a reason. January's rent was still paid on time. We found another place to rent and were moved out completely by the 31st. We then received a notice on Feb. 3rd of unpaid rent, the month-to-month fee, plus a garbage overfill fee and fees for ending the utilities "early".

The last message we received from the manager said we were still liable for the unit until the end date of the "eviction" notice which was Feb 4th, but after the 31st we had no lease with them, and we did give notice that the unit would be vacated on the 31st. Are we still liable for those 4 days? And, if so, shouldn't all the deposits we made when we first moved be applied? Does the notice supersede the lease? And, do the lease terms even apply after they told us they wouldn't renew?

P.S. I am at work, but will try to answer questions as quickly as I can. Thank you for any and all help!
