Plain English

Nebraska Revised Statute § 20-306 establishes the definition of 'complainant' within the state's fair housing and civil rights framework. Under this provision, a complainant is any person who files a complaint under § 20-326, and notably, the Nebraska Equal Opportunity Commission itself may also serve as a complainant. This definitional rule sets the scope of who can initiate a formal complaint process under the relevant statute.

For Property Managers

As a property owner or manager, understanding the definition established in Neb. Rev. Stat. § 20-306 is part of staying informed about Nebraska's civil rights complaint process. Under this provision, a complainant can be an individual or the Nebraska Equal Opportunity Commission itself, meaning complaints may be initiated without a private individual filing. Operators who maintain fair and consistent housing practices are generally better positioned to respond if a complaint is filed under § 20-326.

For Tenants

Neb. Rev. Stat. § 20-306 defines who qualifies as a complainant in Nebraska's civil rights complaint process, and that definition includes any person who files a complaint under § 20-326. This means tenants who believe their rights have been violated may have standing to initiate a formal complaint as a 'complainant' under this framework. Tenants seeking to understand their options can consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service familiar with Nebraska's Equal Opportunity Commission process.
