Know Your Rights And Options

We review leases before you sign, address repair and habitability concerns, challenge wrongful evictions, and pursue deposit returns when the law is ignored. If negotiation can resolve the issue quickly, we use it; if not, we're prepared to seek court remedies.

Nebraska Landlord-Tenant Law Highlights

Key Rules Every Renter And Owner Should Know

Nebraska's law sets limits on security deposits, requires timely return with an itemized statement after move-out, and mandates proper notice for landlord entry except emergencies. Evictions require statutory notice and a court order-process matters, and mistakes can be costly.

Avoiding Disputes

Clear Leases And Communication First

Many conflicts can be prevented with well-drafted leases and consistent documentation. We help landlords implement templates tailored to their properties and counsel tenants on clauses that often cause problems-fees, maintenance, and early termination terms.
