Monthly Las Vegas Rental Report: What Can Landlords Expect for Rent? (June 2026)

LAS VEGAS, NV – The latest rental market figures for June 2026 show that rental pricing across the Las Vegas Valley continued to move higher during May, even as leasing activity remained relatively steady and the number of new rental listings declined slightly.

According to newly released data from Las Vegas REALTORS® MLS, the average price of residential rental units leased in Southern Nevada reached approximately $2,341 per month in May 2026, representing a 2.5 percent increase from the previous month and a 3.5 percent increase compared to one year ago.

Meanwhile, the median price of leased residential rental units increased to $2,050 per month, while the number of residential rental units leased totaled approximately 2,104 units, remaining relatively stable month-over-month.

Broader rental market data continues to show a similar trend. Zumper’s latest figures place the median rent across all bedroom counts and property types in Las Vegas at approximately $1,899 per month, with rents increasing roughly 2 percent over the past month while remaining slightly below year-ago levels.

What the June numbers show

Taken together, these figures suggest that the Las Vegas rental market remains healthy and active, with pricing continuing to rise despite a relatively stable level of leasing activity.

Unlike some markets across the country that have experienced significant rent declines due to large increases in apartment inventory, Southern Nevada continues to show resilience. Average and median lease prices both moved higher during May, indicating that demand remains sufficient to support continued rent growth.

At the same time, the number of newly listed rental properties declined slightly during the month, helping to limit supply growth throughout the valley.

By bedroom and property type

While MLS data reflects actual lease transactions across all residential rental properties, apartment-specific data from Apartments.com provides additional insight into current pricing by unit size throughout the Las Vegas market.

As of June 2026:

• Studios average approximately $1,000 per month
• One-bedroom apartments average roughly $1,280 per month
• Two-bedroom apartments average approximately $1,540 per month
• Three-bedroom apartments average about $1,850 per month

These figures continue to demonstrate the substantial difference between apartment rents and larger single-family homes, which typically lease for considerably more throughout many Las Vegas and Henderson neighborhoods.

Single-family rental homes with modern finishes, desirable school districts, and larger floor plans continue to command premium pricing compared to traditional apartment units.

Month-over-month and year-over-year trends

From a month-to-month perspective, the May data showed continued strengthening in rental pricing.

Average rents increased by 2.5 percent, while median rents also rose by 2.5 percent, suggesting that gains were occurring throughout multiple segments of the market rather than being driven solely by higher-end properties.

Year-over-year, average leased rental pricing increased by 3.5 percent, reflecting continued stability and growth within the Southern Nevada rental market.

Meanwhile, the number of new rental listings declined modestly from the prior month, while leasing activity remained relatively unchanged. This combination of steady demand and slightly reduced inventory likely contributed to the upward movement in rental pricing observed during May.

What this means for Las Vegas landlords

For property owners considering renting out a home in 2026, the latest figures indicate that market conditions remain favorable.

Demand for rental housing throughout Southern Nevada continues to support healthy pricing levels, particularly for well-maintained properties located in desirable neighborhoods. While tenants continue to have options throughout the valley, the latest MLS data suggests that available inventory is not expanding quickly enough to place significant downward pressure on rents.

As always, proper pricing remains critical. Homes priced appropriately for their location, condition, and amenities continue to attract qualified tenants more efficiently than properties priced above current market expectations.

For landlords seeking the most accurate rental estimate, a customized rental analysis based on neighborhood activity, comparable listings, property condition, and local demand trends will generally provide a more reliable benchmark than broad market averages alone.
