Nebraska Eviction Notice

Nebraska notice periods

Each period is the one LeaseCraft's record of the statute holds. Read it with the conditions under it: some periods are minimums and some apply unless the lease sets another. "Lease controls" means the record holds no statutory period for that situation, and "No pre-suit notice" means it holds no notice before filing. The source column shows the law and the date LeaseCraft read it on the official site (most recently 2026-09-27).

What the Nebraska statute says

Unpaid rent: 7 calendar days

• Rent unpaid when due; written notice of nonpayment and of the landlord's intention to terminate if rent is not paid within seven calendar days; landlord may terminate if tenant fails to pay within that period.

Lease violation: 30 days

• Noncompliance with §76-1421 materially affecting health and safety, or material noncompliance with the rental agreement: written notice specifying the acts and omissions and that the agreement terminates on a date not less than 30 days after receipt of the notice if the breach is not remedied within 14 days.

Exceptions

• Repeat of substantially the same act/omission within six months: 14 days' written notice without a new cure right (see eviction_notice_unconditional).

Ending the tenancy without a chance to cure: 5 days

• Five days' written notice of termination, without the right to cure, where the tenant, occupant, household member, guest or other person under the tenant's control or present with consent engages in any violent criminal activity on the premises, the illegal sale of any controlled substance on the premises, or any other activity that threatens the health or safety of other tenants, the landlord, or the landlord's employees or agents (§76-1431(4)).
• Repeat violation within six months of a prior noticed noncompliance: 14 days' written notice specifying the breach and termination date (§76-1431(1)).

Ending a month-to-month tenancy: 30 days

• Written notice given at least 30 days prior to the periodic rental date specified in the notice.

Delivery, form and other Nebraska rules

How the notice may be delivered

A person gives notice by taking steps reasonably calculated to inform the other in ordinary course; a tenant 'receives' notice when it is delivered in hand, mailed to the place the tenant designated for communications (or, absent designation, the tenant's last-known residence), or delivered by electronic means (e-mail with consent, or posting to an internet platform with separate e-mail notification); a landlord may not require a tenant to accept electronic delivery (§76-1413, as amended by 2025 LB 185).

Preparing the notice

The form asks for the tenancy, the kind of notice and the dates, and the notice ends with a Certificate of Service to record how you delivered it. Beside the finished notice you get a Nebraska checklist of the period, form and delivery rules LeaseCraft recorded. The period in the notice is the one you choose; where LeaseCraft has verified the Nebraska period and your deadline is too soon, the document is not prepared until you move it.

Create a Nebraska eviction notice

A notice is not a court order and does not by itself remove a tenant. Cities and counties can add rules. LeaseCraft is not a law firm and this is not legal advice.
