In Nevada, if a landlord fails to reimburse your security deposit in time and ignores a security request letter, sending them a Security Deposit Demand letter is your next step. Landlords in Nevada are under clear statutory obligation to return the tenant's security deposit in no later than 30 days after the lease ends. Tenants have a right to their full security deposit if they have paid all their rent and leave the premise without any substantial damages beyond normal wear and tear. Any willful violation by the landlord to default from paying the tenant their rightful security deposit comes with legal consequences.

Communications and anything agreed between you and the landlord should always be documented in writing to avoid any conflict in future.
