Nevada Renters: Your Guide to Rental & Utility Support in Clark County
Renting in Clark County can be exciting, but if you’re managing costs like rent and utilities on your own, you’re not alone — RentMor is here with you. We have learned that some resources can help you stay secure in your home.
Rental & Utility Assistance You Should Know About
Clark County offers a Financial Assistance Program that can help eligible renters with housing-related expenses. This program assists in the form of checks made payable to you, your landlord, or your utility provider — helping with rent or utility bills. Eligible households may receive up to $400/month, plus about $135/month per additional household member. You can apply in person, by mail, or by fax through Clark County Social Services.

It’s especially helpful if you’re working through a tight budget. You can reapply every 12 months unless you have a documented barrier to employment or a qualifying disability.
Additional community organizations like HopeLink of Southern Nevada also offer limited rent, utility, and deposit assistance, so calling early in the month can make a big difference if funds are limited.

Setting Up & Managing Your Utilities in Nevada
Before or after you move into your rental home, getting utilities connected smoothly is key. In Clark County and the greater Las Vegas area:
Electricity:
You’ll likely connect with NV Energy — the main electricity provider for the region. Scheduling service ahead of your move-in helps avoid gaps in power. See more here: https://www.nvenergy.com/
Water & Sewer:
Most renters in Las Vegas are served by the Las Vegas Valley Water District. Other cities like Henderson and North Las Vegas have their own water departments, so always check which district covers your address. See more here: https://www.lvvwd.com/
Natural Gas:
Southwest Gas provides natural gas service for heat, cooking, and hot water in many homes. Scheduling in advance (often a week or more) helps make sure your gas services are ready when you move in.
Trash & Recycling:
Republic Services handles trash and recycling throughout most of the valley. It’s typically assigned based on your address and doesn’t require separate setup in many cases.
Internet & Cable Options:
Beyond Cox Communications, renters now have more internet choices in Nevada:
Quantum Fiber – Fast fiber options with symmetrical upload/download speeds and support for streaming, gaming, and work-from-home setups.
ISP.net – A local provider offering another alternative to standard cable internet.
This gives renters more flexibility to compare plans and choose what fits their needs and budget — especially if reliable internet is essential for work or online learning.
Navigating rent and utilities can feel overwhelming — but knowing your options helps you stay in control. If you ever need guidance on assistance programs or connecting utilities in your rental, that’s exactly what RentMor is here for.
