Lease Agreements in Nebraska
Nebraska landlord-tenant law is governed by Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1401 to 76-1449. Nebraska caps security deposits at one month's rent (or 2.25 months if the tenant has pets or a waterbed) and requires them returned within 14 days.
Nebraska has no rent control. The eviction process begins with a 3-day pay-or-quit notice for non-payment. Landlords must give 24 hours' notice before entry.
