NRS 73.010 is the statute which discusses the jurisdiction of justice courts for small claims. This statute provides that Small Claims Court may take jurisdiction over a matter where the defendant named: 1. Is a resident of; 2. Does business in; or 3. Is employed in
the township in which the action is to be maintained. If the Seller also occupied the property as his/her home, then chances are where the property is located is also the township in which the Seller is a resident. Even if not, you could assert that the Seller was doing business in that township by selling the property.
