1. For purposes of NRS 361.157, 361.159 and 361.227, except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, property is leased or used by a natural person or entity at all times the natural person or entity has possession of, claim to or right to the possession of the property that is independent, durable and exclusive of rights held by others in the property, other than the rights held by the owner.
2. Property is not leased or used by a natural person or entity who possesses or occupies the property solely for the purpose of holding the property for another natural person or entity.
3. As used in this section:
(a) “Durable” means for a determinable period with a reasonable certainty that the use, possession or claim with respect to the property will continue for that period.
(b) “Exclusive” means the enjoyment of a beneficial use of property, together with the ability to exclude from occupancy persons or entities other than the owner who may interfere with that enjoyment.
(c) “Independent” means the ability to exercise authority and exert control over the management or operation of the property pursuant to the terms and provisions of the contract with the owner. A possession or use is independent if the possession or use of the property is sufficiently autonomous under the terms and provisions of the contract with the owner to constitute more than a mere agency.
