Landlord notice deadlines — Nebraska
In Nebraska, the checked deadlines on this page cover: pay or quit, ending a tenancy, raising the rent. Each figure carries its statute and the stamp Rules checked October 2026. Run your exact dates through the checker — the period is only half the answer; the counting rule is the other half.
| Pay or quit | 7 calendar days — the tenant may pay and cure (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1431(2)). 7 calendar days' written notice of nonpayment and intent to terminate. If the tenant pays within 7 days, the lease continues. (The old 3-day rule was changed; forms still reciting 3 days are stale.) |
|---|---|
| End a tenancy | 30 days — month-to-month (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1437). 30 days' written notice. |
| Raise the rent | 30 days (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1437). No cap on the amount; 30 days' written notice for a change in a month-to-month tenancy. |
| How days are counted | The nonpayment statute specifies 7 calendar days, so weekends count. |
| Allowed service methods | hand delivery to the tenant personally mail to the tenant's last known address, typically the unit; certified mail recommended for proof (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1413(2)) |
| Just cause | No statewide just-cause requirement. |

Local rules sit on top of state law in many places — city just-cause lists, rent boards, and prescribed local forms. A state deadline is the floor of the analysis, never a promise that no local rule adds to it.
The paper that goes with the date
The checker gives you the date. The kit gives you the notices: pay or quit, non-renewal / termination, and rent increase letters generated from these same checked deadlines, a letter builder that fills in your dates and names, the move-in and move-out inspection checklists, and the proof-of-service checklist.
One-time payment. No subscription. The checker stays free either way.
