Nebraska Residential Lease Agreement FAQ
Common questions about residential lease agreements under Nebraska law.
What is Nebraska's security deposit return deadline?
Nebraska requires landlords to return the security deposit within 14 days after the tenancy ends. If deductions are made, a written itemized statement must accompany any remaining balance. Failure to return within 14 days can result in liability for the full deposit.

Nebraska landlords must serve proper written notice (7 days for nonpayment), then file for eviction in county court. A hearing is typically scheduled within 10–14 days. Nebraska courts expect landlords to follow strict procedural rules.
