courthouse eviction process- las vegas

[Nat C.]

I went to the courthouse and got a 5 day notice to pay or quit and served it to the tenants who is over 1 month overdue in rent. Today they gave me a form from the court saying they contest my application and quoted their reason as:

'We tried to pay the landlord the rent but she refused to accept our money'.

Their claim is pretty waffery and I think they could have been more creative and said a unicorn stole their rent money or something.

Next week I am going back to the courthouse to apply for an eviction order. Will the tenants fake rebuttal story make things more difficult for me?
