Neb. Rev. Stat. § 20-301 et seq. § 20-314
Person, defined.
Operative Text
Person shall include one or more individuals, corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, associations, labor organizations, legal representatives, mutual companies, joint-stock companies, trusts, unincorporated organizations, trustees, trustees in bankruptcy, receivers, and fiduciaries.
Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 20-301 et seq. § 20-314, the term 'person' is defined broadly to encompass not just individual human beings but also a wide range of legal entities—including corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, associations, trusts, and fiduciaries, among others. This expansive definition determines who can be held responsible for, or protected by, the rights and obligations established elsewhere in the statute. By casting such a wide net, the provision ensures that organizational structures cannot be used to sidestep the law's reach.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under any business structure should be aware that Neb. Rev. Stat. § 20-301 et seq. § 20-314 defines 'person' to include corporations, LLCs, partnerships, and similar entities—not just individuals. This means that compliance obligations under the broader statute apply regardless of how a rental operation is legally organized. Operators structured as trusts, joint-stock companies, or other recognized entities are generally treated the same as individual landlords for purposes of the law.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 20-301 et seq. § 20-314 establishes that the word 'person' covers a broad range of actors, meaning tenants may have recourse against corporate landlords, property management companies, LLCs, and similar entities—not only individual owners. This definition can be relevant when identifying who is legally responsible for a potential violation of the broader statute. Tenants seeking to understand how this definition applies to their situation may find it helpful to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service familiar with Nebraska housing law.
