Property owners and managers operating under Bellevue, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 15, art. IV § 15-117 should be aware that installation of screens and storm doors or windows is ordinarily the occupant's responsibility—unless the owner has explicitly agreed to supply that service. Compliant operators typically document any such agreement in the lease or a written addendum to avoid ambiguity about who is responsible for hanging these items. Reviewing lease language to clearly reflect whether the owner has assumed this duty is a common practice among operators in jurisdictions with similar provisions.
